Is it normal for a broken bone to ache while in a plaster orthopedic cast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure it can: However, sometimes bony prominences if not well padded can hurt, similiarly, certain nerves can be compressed. So, if the pain is persistant and doesn't go away don't be afraid to call your doc and just let them know what is going on.
