Fractured scaphoid, Still painful

2 replies

So i had a past scaphoid fracture, (10 months)
which in the beginning, drs couldnt decide if it was broken or not, so had a wrist split on and off, more off than on. They changed their minds 4 times.
So during that time i moved it alot. As i was still working

Now, about 10 months later, im back to it really hurting again, the pain is the same as it was when i first done it.

I haven't re hurt it again, or anything.

Any ideas?
Normal?
Could / would they put it in a cast now, Or way past that point?

Do i just put up with the pain?

Any actual experience of this kind of fracture would be great

The scaphoid is a tricky bone. The problem is it has poor blood supply, so it doesn't heal well, and is at risk of just crumbling away and then the other bones around it collapse into the space.

If it's not healing properly, there is the option of it being fixed surgically. I would go back to your GP, and ask for a referral to the orthopaedic team given the amount of time that had passed. It shouldn't still be hurting this much nearly a year on.
