A member asked:
What should i do next to heal my wrist injury after getting a cast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cast -> splint ....: Changes are that when your cast is removed you will be put in a removable splint for a little while to allow you an opportunity to regain full motion and strength with some protection during higher risk activites. Depending on your injury you may also be asked to attend occupational or physical therapy for help with stretching and strengthing.
