How To Treat Severe Pain And Swelling In The Hand After A Ulna Fracture?
I had a hard cast on my right arm for broken ulna. Hand swelled an inch or more higher than cast. Called to share concern of swelling and shooting pain. Told normal and ice and elevate. Finally went in 5 days early for appt. One look and was told it should have long since been removed. Had hard time getting off...even cut into my arm with saw. Arm was broken worse according xrays, and bloody along side. Cast cut my hand 3 places.Had to have surgery after 6 was in cast.Now no use of hand or fingers. Still badly swollen. What is wrong and what is prognosis ?

Hi,
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
