A member asked:
I got a distal radial fracture ~6 weeks ago. dr took my cast off last week. is it normal for thumb to still hurt & wrist to still be visibly swollen?

Wrist fracture: Yes this is totally normal and will go away with time once the swelling goes away completely and your Range of Motion improves. Hope this helps.
