So I crashed going down powerlines...I know, so lame. I screwed up my wrist again but I don't think it's broken. Anybody use wrist guards? Or am I overreacting and just shut up...

Sorry about the crash and injury. At CVS or Riteaid you can get a reusable wrist wrap to help with recovery, will give you a little support but remain flexible and you can still wear gloves. The wrap has a hole in it for your thumb and that is the anchor to keep the wrap in place. Ice to reduce swelling and Motrin as an anti inflamatory.
Not sure about a device to prevent that injury.

Unfortunately I'm not DWill so I will need to keep it under $50. I want a guard that will provide more protection to the lower palm/wrist rather than protecting against hyper-extending the wrist backwards.

I used a 661 wrist wrap when I started riding again after my schaphoid crumbled a couple years back, provided decent support and not very much $$. Actually probably still have it kicking around (left hand) if you want it although that may be sorta like sticking your hands into some other dudes sweaty used gloves lol

After I broke my wrist in 2006 I rode with a skateboard wrist protector for a couple years. it worked pretty well. It had a metal insert that went over the lower part of the hand over the wrist. It was my left hand. Probably also still have it somewhere (we are int e middle of moving right now) but if you want it brian can dig it out for you.

I've gone through a broken wrist.
the wrist support from Troy-Lee designs worked great for me and very affordable.
attached is the link for your right hand.
