Why Is The Right Hand Still Stiff After A Cast From The Fracture ?
I had a fracture of my right hand five weeks ago. I had a cast for three weeks but my hand is still very stiff. The only thing that helps me is when I pour hot water over my hand, and then I get some mobility for a while. What do you recommend should I do doctor? Thanks very much

Hello,
The symptoms can be related because of the cast which can be too tight. So, yes you can go to the orthopedist to review the cast.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
