Answers:
if you need painkillers, they will check your medical history and give you the appropriate medicine--some people are allergic to some medicines so they will find that out and give you the right stuff.. Sorry to hear about your broken arm and i hope your pain is not too bad.. But look on the bright side--if someone ever asks you if you've ever had any acting experience, you can always say "well, i once had my arm in a cast"..Health Question & Answer

this is dependant on the severity of the break..
If surgery was required then a follow on pain relief would normally be prescribed as well as an anti inflammatory..
dependant on age and underlying medical conditions eg- diabetes, the surgeon or dr would decide on anything from aspirin to co codamol to morphine..
each case is different and is assessed accordingly..
hope this helps..Health Question & Answer

Yes, they do cast the arm after the swelling has gone down.. Yes, they may give you pain meds, but they will only alleviate the broken arm..................if that..
