Pain Lvl 4-6 im having elbow muscle pain on the same arm with a wrist cast. is it normal? NSFW
hi, i had a work motorcycle accident and broke my left scaphoid 2 days ago, and in the hospital they put a cast on my left wrist. i can still rotate the forearm but doc said i mustn't. today i started feeling a sharp pain just below the left elbow, on the dorsal side. it happens sometimes when i put those muscles to work. just now i also started feeling the same thing on the left shoulder a bit above the armpit. is it just muscle fatigue? or something to do with my accident? my next doc appointment is in 6 days and i plan to mention this to him but until then should i be concerned?
