Hey Sam, thanks for your post. The first thing to say is that your presentation is 100% normal following removal of a wrist cast. The forearm has been held for weeks in a static position and so it will take time for the joints, not only at the wrist but at the elbow area (radioulnar joint), to loosen up.

A fractured scaphoid that needed a screw is an injury to take seriously. The scaphoid doesn't heal particularly well and a graft and screw are often used to assist what might otherwise lead to bone death and chronic pain in the wrist. Your NHS consultant should have referred you to physiotherapy and perhaps a specialist hand physio to talk you through this and monitor your rehab. Remember that bone takes up to 12 months to get back to full strength. This means cage fighting in the short term would not be recommended.

If you see no one for any further input the wrist should slowly get back to normal after a couple of months.
