Sorry for the late reply - this sounds slightly concerning. Pain should be improving at a week post surgery and pins and needles / neurological symptoms are a bit of a worry. I would suggest keep taking all your painkillers regularly and contact the hospital - you should have been given a phone number or other way to contact the team that did your operation. Please don’t suffer in silence!

Reassurance sought. Broke my dominant wrist 4 weeks ago. Colles fracture. Had plate and pins installed a week ago now. Really suffering with pain and crazy fluctuating neurological symptoms, pins and needles etc. Got dihydrocodiene 30mg, ibruprofen 400mg and paracetamol 1000mg. Been inconsistent with taking them in the hope of being better. Feeling more discomfort as days progress.
It will suddenly get loads better right?
