its been 6 weeks now since it happend the doc gave me a splint and took off the cast he says take it off to do therapy like squeezing a ball but i just can get it off, i have fear that without it on the second i bend my wrist it is going to break again, my arm als feels weird with out.
 
You are doing more harm than good by leaving it on. I know it feels weird after these weeks of inactivity but you need to do this or the damage could be permanent. It's not going to break just doing the exercises!
 
The bone is healed. Now you need to start using it to make the muscles strong again. It feels weak because the muscles haven't been used. You know the saying, use it or lose it. It applies. Just take it slow and work your way up per the physical therapist. Amazing isn't how just squeezing a ball can be so fatiguing?
