60+ days?! It should've come off after a months, 4 weeks is about the time for bone and tendons to heal. It will keep healing for years but it takes about 4 weeks for the majority of the work being done. You should be moving your arm, your muscles would have already atrophied and It's gonna hurt moving it a bit, but that's normal ._. but it should be moving imo...
Im not a doctor, so maybe there's a reason for it, but I don't see it
!tech . Can a doctor ever advise to get off the preventive measures?
I had a fracture 2 months ago which lead to a surgery in which a plate was inserted in my arm. post surgery i was asked to wear an arm brace (pic in comments)
this is basically a preventive brace to restrict certain movements while new bone is coming up at the crack.
i can understand its need but i am not sure if the doctor is going to recommend not using it ever. my arm has healed enough that i no longer feel pain in the surgery area, but in x rays, the bone still shows as not healed.
my feeling is that i should start wearing normal clothes and discard the brace and bone will eventually come on its own. its been 60+ days already.
But last time i had checkup with the doctor, he said to continue my daily operations while wearing ba brace because "what's wrong with wearing a brace in public? your hand was broken, now you can work with both hands but wearing a brace while your hand heals?"
