Hello, I understand your concern. Swelling post removal of cast is mainly due to soft tissue injury that has occurred due to the fracture. It is advised to keep your hands elevated at all times and continuous physio therapy might help. Post your x-Rays if possible

Only keep your arm elevated.( STRICTLY) MAXIMUM TIME for 7 days .
It will help to reduce swelling
Ice fomentation for 20 min thrice / day for 7 days. ( Do not apply ice direct to skin )
Crape bandage to be used and not wrist band .
crape bandage To be applied firmly and should not be applied too tight or too loose. ( If it applied too tightly as it's elastic it will decrease blood circulation in your hand and can cause further serious damage )
Tab phlogam one tablet to be taken ( morning - aftrnoon- evening) for 7 days.
( Better take before food , if acidity problem then take after food )
Tab limcee one tablet in ( Morning & evening ) for 7 days.

( If no allergy to vitamin c containing food)
Health Tips
it may take 3-4 week time to reduce so keep patience and keep a watch on it.
