Broke 4th Metacarpal, Healing Help

Posted , 3 users are following.

So i broke my 4th metacarpal playing basketball, i already wore my cast 6 weeks and it is off now, im 10 weeks since injury now and its still not healed, When i got my cast off about 4 weeks ago i started to get on the computer again and type a lot, video games etc. I was wondering if this could be affecting the healing process? thanks!

    Hi you should have given it time to continue the healing process instead of rushing to play video games, be thank full it's only your pinky finger, it's unusual to do anything with finger or toe breaks, I have had loads and have slightly crooked little fingers, they don't always heal 100% did you have x-ray and they told you it's not healing??
