Variable: Too much motion could cause problems, however if you are not walking on it and see your ortho doc in a few days to week, not likely.

My son broke his wrist near the radial artery, now it pops when he lifts his arm and has numbness in his thumb. Is this normal? The doctor splinted it until the swelling goes down to have a cast put on.
