In reply to martinmckenna:
My wrist was in plaster for the standard 6 weeks and never having broken anything before, I was stupidly shocked by the state it was in, so be prepared for this. I'm such a twit, I actually cried that night-"Boo hoo, I'll never climb again." I was offered physio over the following few weeks where grip strength was measured so I could see improvements occurring week by week.
It took a full week before I could touch my thumb with the tip of every finger, working hard on each one at a time and worst of all was getting the wrist to bend at all. Palms pressed together and forcing the affected wrist backwards was painful and very slow progress.
They gave me physio putty for exercises at home and I also measured my improvement by using cams. Initially I could only trigger a size 2.5 and slowly worked my way up thru 3, 3.5 and finally the 4.
Just work hard at the exercises they advise and you will regain full use and strength but it won't happen overnight. Good luck.
