I fractured my left radius bone a week and a half ago. I got my 2nd cast Wed, it is driving me crazy. My knuckles hurt to move them and my finger is triggering but it feels like a throbbing ache all the time. How long can I expect to be this uncomfortable and when will I be able to switch to a brace? It was a simple fracture according to the Xray, doesn't feel simple though, LOL.
