Hey guys. I fractured my right wrist 16.5 months ago, and it still hasnt healed. Im a fifteen year old male without any other disorders, but my hand does not seem to get better..it hurts when i lift something heavy or when i turn it too much. Any advice?

Greatly Appreciated.

    Aw - that does'nt send good.  Assuming you had the break mended and its healed as it should - maybe further physio would help?  My wrist is still in a cast and  I'm being told that it will be painful at times by lots of people.  You being so young you'd hope that it'd be healed and a lot stronger by now - I'd revisit your GP.  Good luck!

    GP is your family General Practitioner here in the UK -> your doctor, consultant or specialist physician for further advice - perhaps a referral to a physiotherapist from there but it all has to come from your GP in the first instance.    I hope to get physio once my injury has healed but I'm told each fracture is different. 

    Best wishes smile
