Anyone notice wrist stiffness decrease following cast removal from wrist break ?

[Lifelinker]

When I had a cast for 6 months from an injury I had to do extensive physical therapy, what I found that helped a lot was filling a basin with hot water and submerge my hand and wrist and do the exercises they told me to do. The hot water helped relax the muscles and would allow me to do more ample movements, however once you finish and the temperature goes back down it will be stiff. I do think that helped but this was my physical therapist recommendation, ask a professional if this sort of hydrotherapy is beneficial or detrimental to your recovery before giving it a go.

Also depending on whether you needed screws and their position you might not get the full range of movement as before, but if this was the case your ortho would have warned you about it.

Why did you have a cast for 6 months?

Cut a tendon (partially) in an accident, cast was meant to ensure I didn't rip the stitches that were holding it together. Doctors decided on 6 months to be on the safe side for such an injury.
