Wrist Fracture making cracking sounds
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?
