How long the pain lasted?

not much pain until after surgery. after surgery, about 2-3 days. ah, but i had to have two surgeries.

How long you were in a cast?
|
was only in temporary cast (like a taco) after they reset the dislocation and kinda set the bone. waited a week for swelling to go down before surgery, no cast after surgery only wraps. although, i did have a custom brace

Did you get full movement back in your wrist?
|
about 95%
bending the wrist back (palm up) is pretty much 100%, about 90 degrees. bending it down, i can get to about 80-85%.

my best advice, do all the exercises the physical therapist gives you...then do more. get plenty of rest.
it will be awhile before you can put any weight on it, like riding a bike. i was able to stick handle and shoot the puck way before i could ride a bike or do push ups.
hope that helps, get some rest
