Post-cast / Post-operative Pain
The wrist is the most commonly fractured bone in people under 65, and casts are commonly used to immobilize the wrist as it heals. As with any other injury requiring a cast, a period of time and some rehabilitation may be required once the cast is removed and before returning to full activity.
During this post-cast period, when immobilization is no longer required, Health Care Professionals often recommend wearing a splint or brace to protect and provide added support to the wrist, and to help maximize healing.
A lot of talk about "post-wrist surgery" appears in the sports pages and on blogs where fans carefully follow the recovery of their favorite professional athletes as they "return to the game" with varying degrees of success. The rehabilitation period following wrist surgery, is an important part of successful healing. Some of the tools used by rehab specialists are: braces to support and protect the wrist while it continues to heal, carefully applied cold packs to help reduce swelling and heat to soothe the area.
