Swelling and pain can be lessened with keeping arm elevated in a sling, movement of finger every hourly for 10 minutes and taking serraptiopeptidase tabs 5mg six hurly for 7 days.
If you hang your arm whole day swelling can arise.
Some patients get selling after too tight plaster or too heavy plaster cast, which probably has been taken care of.If you feel numbness in fingers, color of your nails blanched, then instantly consult the surgeon as it means impaired circulation
