A member asked:
I had 4 pins in my wrist from a colles fracture. why is the pain so bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: I would definitely check with the surgeon it could be as simple as the fracture is recent and still healing but you want to make sure that the pins or fracture has not shifted in position you also want to make sure that there is no associated nerve injury which could be causing severe pain.
