They re x-rayed it at the Ortho pedic guys and it's my elbow and he wants me to begin to use it they just don't believe in losing muscle tone. And all the pain was from what he referred to as pressure sores from the temporary cast. It was so tight on my wrist that when it was taken off it was red, swollen, and I couldn't stand to even touch it the pain was intense. I see him again in two weeks. I knew something was wrong as I've broken bones and never had pain before. Was never even given a pain med when I broke my leg at age 20. It just didn't hurt. And I had already made up my mind that if I needed a cast it would be white as it matches everything. But how are you bathing etc. with no arm motion? Love Phillipa ps my husband took pictures with his cell phone camera of the red and ugly wrist that wasn't even the broken bones in case of any permanent damage we have a record. My malpractice taught me a few things at least.
