If the break has cut your artery, it can mean blood is no longer going to the scaphoid bone. This means the bone dies, and you lose the use of your thumb. Get it sorted.

Mmm yeah.

Well the pain as totally moved to the other side of my wrist. So God knows what is going on. Feels odd, but deffo not the scaphoid!!!

I came off my bike practicing nose wheelies one day.
Didnt think i could have done anything to bearing in mind that my mate was in a cast at the same time for something similar so i wrote it off as too much of a coincidence at the time, used the if you can bunnyhop it will be alright technique, i could do that but the pain was rather great.
Long story short is that for over 2 years down the line i was still getting pain out of the wrist, it eased up but jarring impacts gave me recurring pain for that time, its only now which must be about 3 years later that they seem pretty fine and up to scratch,
This interferred with my work although it didnt totally stop me working it does appear to have limited the mobility in my wrist. Strangely my mates was pretty much fine when he was out of his cast and it had regained its strength.

I never did get them looked at ( ive done both similar ways) but what i am trying to say is that i would highly reccomend it, pop down to a&e early one morning when its less busy to get them checked.
I know if i ever did something similar again in the future i would.

Yeah, but new problem.

My back doesn't line up. Look at the left side of the spine... the bit that is all joined together doesn't line up with the ones that are separate. Oops.

Nah it'll be alright

Hi,

Just had my right arm put in cast after suspected sprained wrist turned into fractured radius - which i thought it might have been the Scaphoid.

Glad I went back for 2nd opinion as they didn't pick it up the first time.

Gotta get better for France in 8 weeks -

I broke mine a couple of years ago and had a screw fitted which meant no plaster so no muscle wastage.
Would recommend it if it is available.
Was back on the bike after a couple weeks after the op and only had to wear a wrist support as a precaution.

hope its not mate, my cast should be off in the next 2 weeks or so, cant wait
