Don't assume that you will need an operation Mildred. They always ask you to attend the fracture clinic the day after you have the plaster on any break. They check for any swelling or undue pain which might indicate a misaligned repair.

Should you need one though they will give you an informative leaflet which is very useful. Good luck and hope you soon mend! flowers

Playing football with my grandson yesterday I slipped and broke my wrist. It is now in a plaster and I am going to the fracture clinic tomorrow to make sure it is correctly aligned the fact that I have an appointment so quickly makes me think it isn't. I might need an operation to set it. I am asking for tips on coping with a broken right arm also tips for any operation which hopefully I won't need but if I do. I am lucky as do not live alone.
