I was on cast for 6 weeks covering from shoulder to wrist , just removed cast yesterday. Went to physiotherapist, unable to completely move finger and wrist too. My physiotherapist made me do some exercise , getting lot of pain at wrist. My fingers and wrist had swelling too. Is it to observe abnormality at wrist when I had cast for elbow.?
This is normal. When the cast is long your fingers and wrist are semi restricted during that 6 week period and need to rebuild strength.
In addition, scar tissue in the elbow will build up a bit unfortunately and tug sometimes on the tendons and muscles leading to the hand.
