5 weeks after fracturing metacarpal
Hi, I fractured my metacarpal on 5/12. X-rays were taken and a splint worn for c. 2 weeks (I was advised to take it off once it stopped hurting). Over the last 3 days I seem to get a bit of pain doing certain tasks on one of the fracture fingers. When I say 'pain' it's a twinge which you can feel but isn't a 'wince in pain' job. I wondered if this will go over time?
One instance it 'twinges' is if i have all fingers in a crab on the desk and then lift that finger (fourth finger).
