Dear Patient,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and as per your story, there was any minor fracture to the radius, so in my opinion the pain of the posterior aspect cannot be due to this. The source of this pain could be muscles or nerves in the forearm, or compression of nerves in the neck, to come to a conclusion to find out a reason, we need to examine you thoroughly, and get you investigated based on the findings of the examination.
I would advise you to see your doctor early and discuss your concerns, he will surely help.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
