Answers:
Bruising in the hand after a wrist fracture is normal--all the blood that leaked out of the broken bones has to go somewhere. Elevation & ice will help. What is NOT normal, and will signal too tight a cast is increasing pain, pain with movement of fingers, numbness in fingers, nail beds turning pale or bluish and not pink with a gentle squeeze, pale or bluish fingers (not the bruise color). The swelling in your wrist continues for up to 72 hours. This is the critical time when a cast can become too tight. If you are unsure if you are normal or not, then you can get it checked. They should ahve given you a "cast sheet" in your aftercare.Health Question & Answer
