I fractured my ulna 6 weeks ago. Got the cast off yesterday.

When I do the exercises suggested by my physio, I can do all them with nearly full range of motion with a little pain at the end positions but I can't rotate my wrist fully. I can rotate it only by 90°. Also I experience a little pain at the feature during these exercises.

It was an open fracture, there is a rod and a screw inside. I know that when forearm is rotated, ulna doesn't move, it is a radius that do all the work. But I am still afraid that I might break it if I tried too hard to rotate my forearm.

1. How old are you and how much time did it take for you to get normal?
2. You said the pain will encourage the repairing and strengthening. I can say that I am not in pain anymore. Does that mean it has stopped healing? Is it possible? Cause I can say from the last X-ray there is still a lot to heal.
3. By lifting weights, did you mean you started to workout in gym? Cause I can't weight to go back to gym. And everybody around me is discouraging me. They're saying you can't lift heavy weights again. Ever. But I am gonna try it anyway. Cause according to my information bones get stronger and denser after recovery, so their shouldn't be any problem.
