Hi, I broke my wrist (radius, simple fracture) 13 days ago. Today I had an experience that resulted in me reacting reflexively and jerking my arm away suddenly and violently. I am experiencing a mild, dull pain in the fractured area. Would incidents such as this affect the healing to any noticeable degree, or am I just being paranoid? And am I safe to assume that anything that could cause the bone to shift at this point would result in strong, sharp pain (similar to the pain of the initial break)?

 Hello,
I would expect if the bone shifted from the jerking motion swelling would increase and you would feel pressure mounting in the cast.
Nevertheless, if this is a concern to you and want to know the status of the fracture consult the orthopedist who may want to x-ray it.
Take care.
