If you have severe pain despite having the fracture immobilized with a plaster cast, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Pain may indicate that the fracture has become displaced or that there is a complication, such as an infection or nerve damage.
Depending on the severity and type of Colles fracture, treatment options can vary. Non-surgical treatment may involve the use of a plaster cast, while surgical treatment may involve the use of pins, wires, screws, or plates to stabilize the fracture.
If you are experiencing severe pain, it is important to see your doctor or an orthopedic specialist as soon as possible to evaluate the fracture and determine the best course of action. Your doctor may order an X-ray or other imaging tests to assess the fracture and determine if the cast needs to be adjusted or if surgical intervention is necessary.
