Is Swollen Fingers Along With Cracking Sound Normal After 3 Weeks Of Compression Fracture?
I broke my wrist 3 weeks ago today (compression fracture) and my fingers are still swollen and it cracks a lot. Is this normal? I have not taken any pain medication and by far am not a baby about pain, but I would say this is most often very uncomfortable.

Hi,
As mentioned in history about the compression fracture, were you in the cast for a 3 days? If so then this is just weakness of the muscles and will become better with simple exercise of the hand and wrist. Using hot water fermentation for relaxing the muscle will be also helpful before the exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
