I have a scaphoid fracture. is it okay for me to move my hand in the cast?

Question

is it normal for the hand to hurt when i move it?

it's been a week and it still hurts when i move it. Does that mean it is still healing?

Answer 1

Stop moving your hand! You need to let that scaphoid bone heal. It usually takes a few weeks. If you want to accelerate the healing, do some wrist exercise with your OTHER hand, the one that's not broken. Both wrists are linked in our brain, by exercising one wrist, you are exercising the other one by 10-20%.
