I fell on my hand last night in a parking lot. It only really hurts when I move it. Is it broken or just sore? How long will it hurt for?

You may want to check this out. An expert was asked roughly the same question, his answer, get an XRay

Pay particular attention to the following
persistent pain
swelling near the wrist
changes in finger movement
numbness
These can be indicators of a break. http://arthritis.about.com/od/wrist/a/wristfractures.htm
I had a broken thumb that I never fixed, a school nurse thought it was not broken.
If I want it fixed now they have to re-break it. It has been a bit sore on and off for 20 years.

Also, if you have broken the skin, you may need a tetanus shot.

If it isn't feeling better by Monday, you should go see a doctor. Giving it a couple of days for the swelling to go away probably isn't unreasonable, as long as it isn't too painful, but if it doesn't improved markedly, give yourself a break (sorry!) and see someone who can tell you if it is broken or not.
Good luck!

In actuality when my mother finally dragged me to get it xrayed at 12 in the morning the doctor came out and asked me, seriously, if a HORSE had stepped on my hand. It never healed completely right and to this day my handwriting is nowhere near as good as it was before then and it's painful to write more than a paragraph of two.
Don't take the chance man, if it doesn't get set right and it is broken it'll suck a LOT more than paying for the xray. Just don't go to the hospital, they'll make you wait forever. Try an urgent-care or your primary care physician.

1. If it has swollen a lot and you can hardly move a finger, then be almost sure that it is broken or suffered a hairline crack or fracture. It broken, it should swell like hell.
2. If it has not swollen much or at all and you can move it with difficulty (with pain of course), then it might be a mere sprain.
In any case, do not try to rub or massage it with any ointment. Try some cold compress with ice and use some pain-killer sprays (I repeat, don't rub it) to reduce the pain as first-aid and rush to the doctor.
Hope it is fine. Thanks
