I recently fractured my radius bone after I tripped while running. The doctors said it was a clean break and so they set me up in a splint. However, this morning, I awoke to find my entire arm removed from the splint and that I had pulled my arm out completely sometime during the night (the bandage was left untouched). Now, in my apparent sleeping genius, while the splint was off, I kept my arm elevated on a pillow exactly the same way I was doing when the splint was still on. I noticed, though, that my radius bone is not completely aligned and that there is a bump where the fracture occurred.As this is my first fracture, I am not sure, but it seems likely that my bone was either not set properly when my arm was splinted or had become misaligned again during the recovery process because the splint had too much give due to the elastic nature of the ace bandage. Is this bump normal and am I just being paranoid or should this raise an alarm for me? My friends told me that it would have been better if I had been given a full cast. Thank you for your help.
