How do you convince your doctor to give you a cast when your wrist isn't broken but you want attention in school?
You don't. To attempt convince a doctor to do something unethical or morally wrong is a waste of your time and his.
What happens when you hurt your wrist?
A hurt wrist indicates that the wrist is sprained, bruised or fractured. This renders it from picking up heavy objects, sometimes any kind of weight. The wrist may need to be looked at a medical professional to be wrapped in a cast or prevented from worsening.

Make sure you keep it raised, do not put pressure on it, and be careful. Ask you doctor about a finger metal cast with padding.
When you break your wrist do you have to get a shot?
I do not know how doctors treat a broken wrist in this century, but when I broke my wrist in the late 1990's,the doctor just gave me an X-ray and put a cast on my arm. Unless your arm was infected, there is no need for a shot.
You recently fractured your wrist and got the cast removed after 6weeks now the wrist can't articulate to the degrees the normal one can will it be like this forever?
Question for you? Did you do any hand and wrist therapy exercises following the removal of the cast? This is usually recommended, so as to get your flexibility/mobility back in your hand & wrist. Ask your doctor who did the casting, to recommend a hand/wrist therapist. He may want to X-Ray your wrist first. Good Luck!! Take care.

Does it take 2 weeks before a doctor can put a cast on a broken bone?
No, if you broke a bone then go and see a doctor as soon as possible! I broke my wrist and the next day I went to see a doctor and that day he checked it out, took x-rays, and told me that I broke it. I was put in a cast that day. You should see a doctor immediately if you think you broke something

No... it shouldn't hurt, much of my friends have broken their wrists and I haven't heard them complaining that it hurts once the cast was removed...SV
How long does it take a hairline fracture of the wrist to heal?
A hairline fracture of the wrist will not always need to be immobilized. If there is no displacement of the bones, the wrist will heal perfectly without casting. You may find greater comfort using a stiff brace rather than nothing, and the brace is far more comfortable, hygienic and better for the skin than a plaster cast. Your doctor will need to see x-rays to determine if the break needs casting or not. Without the cast you will need to exercise caution since the bone is already weakened, but with normal usage as you can bear it the wrist will heal in the same amount of time as with a cast. See your doctor and have x-rays in any event.
Is it a bad idea to take your cast off early. I broke my wrist about 5 weeks ago and the doctor said to leave the cast on for 6 weeks. Is it a bad idea to take it off a week early?
It really depends on the type of injury and the seriousness of the injury. I would recommend you keep the cast on until the doctor has made a final prognosis, giving you the permission to take it off.
