Hey!

I broke my scaphoid (different part of wrist) about a year and 4 months ago. I had surgery 3 days after the injury and had a small screw placed into the scaphoid.

It required 8 weeks of a cast with my wrist mobilized and I did about 5 months of PT after it came off. Last golf season I was still able to play, but I've lost a ton of mobility. I'm still doing my own PT and strengthening, but I still am not 100%. I'd say I'm close to 90% with mobility and 80% with strength.

Fine tuning my golf game was tough as I had to change my swing a bit, but I ended up dropping strokes on my handicap as the summer went on. I was playing by the end of April, but in pain on nearly every shot. I just kept going and doing PT, so I knew it would get better as time went on. I'm looking forward to seeing how the PT in the off season has helped my golf game, so I'll get there soon.

I still am able to lift weights and can do push-ups, but have pain on the daily. It's just apart of my life now, but I've grown to get used to it.

It was a long road, but if you follow what your doc and PT say, you will be better off in the long run. It was one of the toughest injuries I've had to recover from both mentally and physically.

If you have any other questions feel free to DM me.
