A member asked:
I splintered my arm about 2 years ago. i wore a cast until it healed up. for the past 3 days the pain in it feels like it's slowly breaking again. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not so: Weather change, growth and repair ( without hx recurrent injury ) may explain. Take aleve (naproxen) for couple days.
