Hi, My 8-year-old fractured her elbow and the cast was removed a week ago. She started complaining about wrist pain 2-3 days prior to the cast removal. Ever since she has pain and she can t put pressure on her wrist which had not been an issue before. Is it possible she also fractured the wrist and had no symptoms until now? Thank you.
Hello, I have studied your case. Yes there can be wrist fracture associated. Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in wrist, Wrist pain can be due to tenosynovitis, clinical examination can help in diagnosis and further investigation can be advised. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
