This might be due to lack of blood circulation in the hands and we suggest to do contrast bath therapy ie. Immersing in cold/hot water in the interval of 3-5 minutes which will help you reduce the pain.

Apply ice in the painful area which would definitely help to greater extent. And you can wear elbow brace which would help you to keep your elbow warm and will give you protection.

Our suggestion would be to do hot water fermentation along with Cold (ice) therapy. You shall also keep a pillow under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
After the cast comes off, the immobilized body parts are going to be stiff. This is normal. If we immobilized a perfectly healthy wrist or ankle that wasn't broken, for several weeks, it would be stiff too. The stiffness will take time to work out.

No plaster required if no bony involvement.
