I had scaphoid surgery on December 11, 2023. Wore a brace after surgery until February 19, 2024. Then I started OT. Was hoping to get full movement back, but it's harder than I thought. I too have a lump near my scar. Movement in my left wrist is not as fluid as the right wrist. It feels like there is something in the left wrist preventing motion. Thanks Michal for posting your videos.

[@nasseraljoumaa7659]

I had the same problem. How do you feel now?

[@kathyzastrow1534]

@@nasseraljoumaa7659 I continue to do wrist exercises at home. I feel that things are still the same. It feels very tight especially when flexing the wrist forward though it still doesn't move perfectly when doing wrist figure eights. I don't know what else to do to make the wrist more fluid in movement like the good wrist. Is there internal scar tissue preventing the movement? How long does it take to make it normal again, I don't know.

[@nasseraljoumaa7659]

@@kathyzastrow1534 i removed my cast a few days ago. I wore it for 2 months. It stil hurts und i cant move the wrist at all. I hope it will get better. where did you break it? Proximal?

[@codee6659]

I had a scaphoid fracture at the end of December 2023, got surgery beginning of January have been out of the cast a couple months now and my wrist definitely still very tight some days more than others especially if I don’t stay on the physical therapy exercises like I need to but the forward backward motion of my hand is probably the most limited still, I can’t believe how long it’s been dealing with this fracture and still not being fully recovered is very frustrating! I hope everyone dealing with this can find the right exercises to get they’re wrist fully back in original working motion!

[@nasseraljoumaa7659]

@@codee6659 where was the break? do you still have to wear the cast?

[@anselmjonathan8598]

Thank you for this great video! I underwent wrist surgery myself about four months ago, not because of an injured scaphoid but an injured TFCC. I have already done a lot of similar exercises but there were new ideas for me for my daily routines! Thank you for that. I can highly recommend using a Flexbar (get the light light version with minimum resistance) as well as the Powerball for the occasional strength exercise. I still lack mobility in my wrist but am hopeful that I will get to where you got to in a few more months!

[@OnniOO]

When my wrist felt a little better I started doing pushups on my fists very carefully as well as neutral grip pullups (those took a little longer to feel okay to do), but that bloodflow from exercise really helped me regain mobility FAST. In a couple weeks maybe a month I was able to be at 95+% range of motion of my non injured hand.

[@unpredictableiii]

I'm a year into recovering and my wrist doesn't have that full range in motion like how yours does. I still have resistance bending my wrist forward and back. I hope this works. Doctors and insurance are both saying I don't need anymore therapy and the limited range I currently have is the best it will get

[@macwarner9728]

I have also sem problem dear any suggestion? U have a surgery? I have a surgery and screw

[@REKHA-GOENKA]

My son broke both his scaphoides. From October 2023 till April 2024 he was in a cast. Pre and post operation. Now his wrists are very stiff and not moving. Doctor has asked him to wait for two more week after removing the cast before he starts with mobility. He's still wearing 3d printed braces. I can see he has a long road of recovery ahead of him before he can start lifting weights and doing pushpus

[@Devotional_shortreels]

Thanks Michael it's really helpful for me.

[@ElenaTuccio]

Super helpful. Thank you so much!

[@yipirinya1]

Great routine .. I will add to my wrist fracture recovery...

[@OnniOO]

A year ago I fractured my scaphoid bone in my left wrist.. The doctors gave me a cast that restricted wrist movement and thumb movement.. I had it on for 3 months, doing checkups every 2 weeks after a month (they took xrays of my wrist every 2 weeks). Then after 3 months of the cast it did look like it healed a little bit but it was not yet clear if it was totally healed so they sent to get a CT scan. It was inconclusive, so they sent me to a specialist who said the CT was badly taken and he couldn't see anything.. Then I convinced him to take a quick x ray at least since I was travelling for 8 hours just to see him.. He said it looked healed up so that was it.. When I first took of the cast my wrist movement was so restricted.. I did some stretches and stuff but I also worked out doing pushups on fists when it felt a little better and the blood flow from that really helped get the movement back.. However, a year later I am not convinced that it has properly healed. I still get pain sometimes when leaning on my left hand. How long could you still feel the pain after the injury? Perhaps it has healed but I haven't been super disciplined with stretches and exercises so maybe it's the ligaments and what not that feels painful.

[@christinelumpkin6280]

Thank u for this video❤

[@krisdolmans]

Good result! Can you do also heavy work like mechanic of builder the entire day? You help me with your video’s!

[@doniallan998]

I fractured mine in November 2022 i haven't been cleared to really do anything yet and i was supposed to finally be cleared last week but no more health insurance for x rays

[@Anas_bhatti7744]

I 4 year include this fracture

[@KingstonMtb]

I got my cast of yesterday and I mountain biked with a brace it actually made it feel kinda better I’m worried though because on the x ray the new bone was super white and not done hardening I don’t want to mess anything up.

[@ingeraagaard1664]

Very useful 🙋‍♀️

[@reda4315]

keeeeeeeeeeep the updates coming

[@mirzaljubovic4227]

Hi everyone, hi Michael, i would like to ask if anyone healed scaphoid fracture without surgery, i mean just with this physical therapy like Michael presented in this video ... I fall of a bike three weeks ago and x ray didn't show any fracture , I can't do push-ups and also lifting weights above ( like Michael said ) ... I'm not in pain until I try to do push moves or twisting moves. But the main problem are palms on the ground ( push-up position) I can do push-ups on my fists, it's painful but I can .... I would be thankful if anyone could share his experience, everything is helpful... Thanks in advance ✋

[@Thugofdelhi]

Same things with me. But I suggest you to wear cast for atleast 45 days and take homeopathy medicine till 45 days afterwards physiotherapy

[@culer_]

Can the Same exercises be used for Injuries?

[@user-ej9tu3li2u]

please update your info about your pshysio in future

[@romanr9977]

8:55 - easier to do this with a piece of paper underneath or piece of fabric as per my physio. Otherwise the hand will grip on the glass.

[@danydias7026]

Good result..., it is still pain with ur wrist when you have an activity or exercise now?

[@JojoAces]

Broke my wrist in two spots, was in a cast for almost 3 months How did you improve ? Just consistency and pushing through the pain ?

[@estherkoth9875]

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. I have edema in the fingers (that is swelling).I must have nerve damage in my thumb as well. Anyone have this?

[@NobelDear]

Ya it’s gone now though

[@justinalkins2733]

I just got my cast off 3 days ago and I have a question. My wrist still hurts/aches. Is this the healing process?

[@michalmadness]

Yes, it is going to hurt and ache for alot longer then 3 days :)

[@percygekkouga2151]

​@@michalmadnessany ideas for how long? I'm quite worried When should I expect to be able to do pushups and other exercises? My wrists are very skinny (and so am I) and I want to start working on improving my physique as soon as I can. Kindly respond

[@RichBoyLiving]

@@percygekkouga2151you are gonna be in pain for about 6 months after getting cast off but you may have on and off pain for about 2 years from the original injury this is based off me

[@doniallan998]

​@percygekkouga2151 don't rush it. I did and mines still recovering 16 months in. That being said when you are healed enough be really consistent with mobility or else you'll lose the ability to do things

[@samsultana315]

I've had a hairline scaphoid fracture for a little over 2 months, i just found out 3 weeks ago that it was a fracture as the first xray showed nothing. The drs told me to keep it in a splint, they gave me no cast. It still hurts badly to bend towards my thumb. How long will this take

[@Niku_lv9]

Its normal to be hurting after the cast ?

[@alexthomas8305]

Had surgery 5 years ago. Wrist hurts everyday

[@DarkSCtv]

not normal.. have you done reeducation the months following the surgery?
