Is It Normal To Have Restriction On Movement Having A Wrist Fracture And Swelling?
Hello, my cast came off a month ago from a wrist fracture. I am attending Physio and even Accupunture to reduce the swelling. Movement is progressing....slowly, but I still am not able to turn my wrist fully. ( from palm movement facing down to up). Is this normal? Will it heal properly and will I be able to regain full movement? If it s just a matter if time I would not be worried. I just hope it s normal? Thanks
