A member asked:

Resumed sports after resting wrist stress fracture for 3 weeks, pain free exercise but still painful to touch or squeeze on a certain part of my wrist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You should be seen : By an orthopedic surgeon to assess healing and return to activity as most fractures take a minimum of 6 weeks to heal in an adult.
