Casted for 2 weeks and insur denied mri. Nerve conduction is scheduled next week (earliest i could get an appt). Almost a month with no activity is concerning. What damage do you think prevents me from rotating my wrist to view hand. Tx

Thr vents you have mentioned makes me conclude that its a nerve injury accompanied by ligament injury. But you must wait for the test results. MRI and NCS will confirm whats going on. Take painkillers and keep your hand elevated.
