It didn't start to hurt until two days later when I put some weight on it. I only finally got a firm diagnosis two weeks ago (when the cast was put on) and I was working through this for a month until the pain level became too much (transit operator, kinda hard to drive a bus with one hand). Unfortunatey the pain only seems to be getting worse, so it might require surgery.
I recommend stopping by a home care centre to get a reuseable cover for your cast when showering. It is so much easier than trying to tape a garbage bag around it. Mine cost $35 plus tax, while worth the convienience factor.
And for someone who is used to touch typing, it is a royal pain typing with just one hand.

No ligament damage.
The nurse gave me some no wet tape and some bags to cover my cast when i take a shower. I will definately check out your suggestion - thanks
One finger typing really slows things down but hey time is all i have until the wrist heals.
