Of course a surgeon will tell you that you need surgery

I broke my scaphoid last year and every surgeon said that no way the scaphoid can heal, limited blood flow to that area, going to be tough for a sports player to heal this injury without surgery. no way i would let a surgeon touch my wrist. long story short, i stopped using it, i sat in the sauna a lot, massaged it after several weeks, drank a lot of milk, and bought a red light machine which i used over it every day several times a day to improve blood flow. i went back to the surgeon after 10 weeks and he was stunned that the bone was fusing back together. said "you're the luckiest patient i've ever had."

be wise. good luck.

Wow great story

[ki dice]

Goat were pieces of the bone misplaced on your injury

[ki dice]

I meant displaced and was it broken at the waist or proximal pole

if you don't get surgery, you need to immobolize that area asap in a position where the bones can heal and fuse. if you don't, the bone will slip further and further out of place to the point where it will be impossible to heal without surgery -- the more you use it the more pain it will cause you later in life. keep it immobolized for a few weeks (that means don't use it at all) while you take several vitamins (look into some natural supplements) and drink a lot of milk, eat fresh meat, cheese, fresh vegetables, don't eat any junk food. after the few weeks have ended, you can take off the cast or splint, but still...don't use. sit in saunas, do light massages, if you can't afford the red light therapy machine (it's like 250-300 for a solid one), you can always order one, use it frequently for 2 weeks, then return it.

if you live near detroit you can borrow mine. pm me.

btw when did this happen? sorry i didn't read the full story but if it's already been a long time since the injury and you've been using that part of your body the bones may have already started to pull apart. if it's a fresh injury you need to make a decision asap on what to do.

ttwarrior will tell you that cayenne pepper and apple cider vinegar will heal your wrist if you ask him

your body is telling you that there is something wrong

it was a displaced fracture but i don't know what the proximity was, sorry. i just knew that the scaphoid usually never heals, and with surgery, you're operating on your right wrist, that's dangerous. your wrist controls everything. i figured i was relatively young and if i took the right approach my body would heal itself. I actually never even knew my scaphoid was broken I just figured it was a deep bruise or ligament tear, I waited about 1.5 months before going to the doctor and realizing it was broken. Big mistake which probably delayed the healing for me. Knowing that area gets no blood flow, I basically did everything I could to draw blood to that area. After a couple months, the surgeon couldn't believe it had started to fuse back.
