Pain And Discomfort In Whole Left Arm. Have Titanium Plates And Screws Attached To Wrist Following An Accident. Normal?

I had a titanium plate and screws attached to my left wrist about 3 years ago. The past two years I have experienced pain in my wrist and arm during the fall. This year the pain seems to be worse. My whole left arm feels uncomfortable but the pain is mostly centered in my upper arm, halfway between my elbow and shoulder. Is this normal?

Hi, it appears that you have pain from the time of the surgery. so it may be a non union or mal union of the fracture, and it has resulted into the spread of the pain to the arm due to some reason.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections, for 10 consecutive days, and anti inflamatories. Thank you.
