Question

Is it normal for a child to feel pain when walking after a forearm fracture?

Answer

Generally speaking, if a child’s forearm fracture has not significantly displaced and has been 5 months since the injury, it should have healed by now, and there should not be any regional pain symptoms. If there is still pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up DR examination to check the healing status. If the scar is good, actively implementing hip, knee, and ankle joint flexion and extension exercises should lead to improvement.
