A member asked:

I have a non- disp fracture of radial neck and partial tears. i have a lot of pain after pt. i am 3 weeks out, no cast. is this much pain normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: In general, fractures take about 6-8 weeks to heal completely. In the mean time, you could experience some pain, especially when using it, such as during PT. Acetaminophen might help the pain, as will icing and elevating the affected extremity. Hope this helps!
