Wrist Fracture making cracking sounds

2022-01-02 15:23:56
I got my plaster cast removed recently after distal radius fracture. The doctor has advised me physiotherapy. Whenever I try to move or rotate my wrist there is a constant cracking sound. I also have pain and stiffness in my wrist. Does these cracking sounds mean the fracture has not healed properly or a refracture? What should I do now?
