hi,
hand immobilisation for fractures are notorious for causing stiffness of wrist and fingers
.u should dip your hand in hot water and do exercises as recommended.
u can also take few sessions of WAX BATH from the physiotherapist.
signoflam for 5 days will help to reduce pain and swelling
but exercising is the most important of them all.
it will take atleast 2-3 weeks for complete recovery
