A member asked:
What to do if i broke my distal radius on christmas, and had it reset on january 7th. it really still kills. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: Pain at a fracture site can persist very commonly for 4 months. Reactive swelling, pain from overuse, pain due to weather changes can persist for 8-12 months. Always a concern with regard to the position of the radius following reduction, and concomitant injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome or ligament injury. Follow up with your orthopedist.
