I had fracture scaphoid that was only treated with cast for 5 weeks. Since cast was removed 6 weeks ago there is still mild swelling around my wrist. It hasn't gotten any better or worse. I only have about 60% range of motion back just from doing my own exercises. Is it normal to have swelling this long after cast removed? I had no swelling before going into cast and I have no real pain now. Is this swelling just a result of the immobilization ?
