What Causes Stiffness And Pain In The Forearm After An Accident?
Hello my name is Jessica I needed a second opinion I got in a car accident a little over a year ago and had a plate and screws put in my forearm I m a very active person that loves lifting weights. I m really considering getting it removed because I do get discomfort when I workout now and i get a stiff aching pain in my arm. My doctor said he would remove it just told me there is a risk of re fracture and numbness . Could you give me any advice?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if it is the plating and screwing done then it has to be removed in particular time, it is advisable to see the orthopedic surgeon for that hope this information helps.
