I have a broken scaphoid, it was broke for two month before treated. I now have a cast but my wrist throbs in scaphoid spot sometimes. The doc said I will have this cast for only one month. That don t seem right. Considering I am getting pain still. My cast is rather loose not sure if it s the gortex or swelling gone down but I can move my wrist around sorta.
Scaphoid bone is known for nonunion so if pain persists cast has to be continued little longer. If pain is occasional than no need to worry but if it is persistent or severer than you have to consult your treating physician. If cast is looser than it should be changed. It can happen due to reduction of swelling. Thanks
