Elbow swelling after wrist surgery

2018-07-15 15:07:37
I had wrist surgery last week and am still in a splint, but will get a cast next week. The problem is considerable swelling and bruising in my upper arm, near the elbow and above. The area is sensitive to the touch. Do I need to worry?

Rule out infection or injury. Post surgery cast is not routine. Share x-rays or clinical operation notes .
