Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My 8-year-old fractured her elbow and the cast was removed a week ago. She started complaining about wrist pain 2-3 days prior to the cast removal. Ever since she has pain and she can t put pressure on her wrist which had not been an issue before. Is it possible she also fractured the wrist and had no symptoms until now? Thank you.
Yes there can be wrist fracture associated. Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in wrist,
Wrist pain can be due to tenosynovitis, clinical examination can help in diagnosis and further investigation can be advised.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
