In the middle of February I fractured my wrist in a basketball game. Well, I got a cast, (from wrist to elbow), and i took it off because it was bothering me. Now, whenever i do stuff like bowl, play pool, pitch fastball softball, throw, basically anything involving movement with my wrist, alot, it hurts for several days after. I was wondering what I can do so it wont hurt forever because it never healed 100%. If I got a cast again, and kept it on, lol, would it heal because there would be no movement for 2 - 3 weeks as opposed to my wrist guards and ace bandages. Answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Altruistic answered Sunday May 21 2006, 9:23 pm: you should try seeing a doctor for advice. If a cast will help you heal your wrist then might as well not move it for 2-3 weeks as opposed to being able to move your wrist with the help of wrist guards and bandages but having it hurt. Besides, if a cast will help it heal, then 2-3 weeks isnt that bad, compared to years of pain. =) [ Altruistic's advice column | Ask Altruistic A Question ]
