If I remember right it took quite a while for the swelling to go down but it was feeling pretty good at 4 weeks. Couldn't really do any lifting or twisting but was feeling good. Dr. wouldn't give me the ok to ride until he x-rayed it and could see how it was healing. Are you still in the soft cast? Have you had it x-rayed again? Just take it easy. Don't push it. I know you are itching to get out and ride but you have only 1 chance to heal it and heal it right so missing a few weeks of riding will be worth it. Missing a few weeks versus screwing it up so it bothers you the rest of your life wouldn't be worth it. Please take care of it and then when you start to ride be very careful for a while.

oh very very true!!

I feeling good and as for cast I have been in this splint thing {held on with Velcro} since the second week after surgery!just a x ray the second week when they took swell cast off.

as for getting back I'm not trying to hurry it "don't get me wrong i cant wait" I do want to heal it right. I just have not found anyone that had same break with the same surgery, but you!! so your insight is awesome and most people say6 to 12 months OUCH!!I have next x ray om 1-6

Hopefully you are a fast healer and it won't take 6 - 12 months. Like I said I had surgery the end of Oct. and was riding the first part of Jan. To this day no problem. Wouldn't even know anything had happened.

I broke my throttle wrist this time 4 years ago. I broke it snowmobiling and had a plate and 7 screws put in. I got my cast off and started PT just in time for my snowmobile trip 4 weeks after I broke it. I wore an oversized glove with a brace on it and got along pretty good. It hurt but I was not going to let that keep me from going on my trip. My wife and doctor were not very happy with me, but I used my head when riding and took it easy. I was just glad to be on the trip. The only time I noticed it was this fall when we had a sudden change in the weather but that was the only time in 4 years I noticed it. I won't lie my physical therapy hurt more then breaking the wrist.

2 years ago from last monday i broke my throttle side wrist snowboarding in Ontario, and came home to a nice big dumping of snow. trails opened the next day, and i was out riding 3 days after i broke it hahaha
i only had a temporary plaster cast too, so that was interesting lol
mine healed in 4 1/2 weeks, and Dr. said the snowmobiling helped it, due to getting increased blood flow to my arm lol

it healed fully, and doesn't bother me usually
i've had once where i was shovelling muck and it gave me a bit of an issue, but it was really cold that day too lol
hope your recovery continues to go great!

I got lucky about five years ago took a header off a scaffold that fell over about 29 ft high.
Landed on my chest head first and chipped a tooth and broke my wrist. Never had a problem with it yet. Still ride like a mad dog
