Had A Fracture In Wrist, Feels Loose, Uncomfortable. What Can I Do?

I tried to take the cast off today but my wrist still feels loose. the cast itself is very uncomforttable and i feel like the metal plate is sticking in my arm . can i i take it off and wear a wrist brace

Hi ! Irrespective of the insurance cover, I would suggest you to consult your orthopaedician and get definitive treatment done for your wrist to avoid any future restrictions in the hand movements. Wearing a brace may give you some temporary relief only. Wishing you a timely recovery.
