DD has a broken arm. Has had a cast on for 4 weeks. Cast includes the elbow. All day today she has been complaining of her hand hurting.
We have doendifferent stretching/moving exercises to see if it helps but it hasn’t.
I know in the first few days pain can be a sign of swelling etc but I wouldn’t have thought it would be that this far in.
Any ideas on how to stop the pain for her or whether it’s something to be concerned about?
I must confess it’s stressing me out as I had being restrained at all and the thought of not being able to straighten my elbow for weeks would be a nightmare and is making me feel panicky (I havnt voiced this to DD though)
