Hand fracture
Hi.
My cast was removed after 4 weeks of fracture and cast. It was 6 weeks planned, but there was lot of itching and prickling pain inside cast due to skin peel., so it was removed.
After 3 days of cast removal, still there is pain. X ray done shows similar crack with gap. Not improved. What should i do next. Plz suggest.
