I fractured my wrist 7 weeks ago and its been swollen the whole time. Should I worry? The cast comes off on wed. I am a 52 yr. old woman. I work in a restaurant and am in very good shape strengthwise. Good clean diet, no booze or drugs, always healthy.
Hello, I have studied your case, and you do not need to be worried about this as swelling is common after fractures, and it can stay up to three to four months. So it is not unusual. I would suggest you to continue with your physiotherapy, and you can also apply hot water fomentation. You should also apply compression bandage specially when you are not doing any work. I hope your blood pressure is under control as some time having high blood pressure can cause such symptoms also. Thanks
