Shattered my radius bone into a million pieces according to my surgeon in early March who put in a plate and a bunch of pins. Had the whole bandage/brace thing for two weeks then a cast for three weeks.
The only really painful part was doing business on the throne the first time after being on the pain meds. Even when I initially did it it was more uncomfortable than painful. I only took the pain meds for a day or two before I stopped taking them for pain. I still take them at night to sleep though for about a week.
I've regained normal range of motion in my wrist and my surgeon said that next month I can resume any activities I want. I don't have any further appointments with either him or my physiotherapist because there's no need for them.
I do have a four inch scar on the inside of my wrist but it's fine.
