Had A Fracture On Wrist, Healed, Taken The Cast Off. Will It Heal?
Hi, I had a fracture on my wrist, and after 6 weeks, I am due back tomorrow to get the cast off and hopefully it's healed. it still hurts sometimes at night is this part of healing process? I just want the cast off, as I am on my final 5 weeks of uni and could do without it? I am 20 years old. it was fracture near the thumb if that helps.
Thank you
Thank you

hallo my friend
i read your complete history
see i need to know which bone is fractured
generally near wrist it can be radius or ulna which will heal in 6 weeks
now you can start physio once cast is removed
slight pain may be due to stiffness
scaphoid fracture takes time to heal
take calcium suppliment with vit D
continue exersizes
for further query you can contact me atdrvaibhavg@yahoo.com
