So I initially broke my scaphoid skateboarding on March 10th. They had originally put me in just a cast and said I didnt need surgery, but I went snowboarding on it and the bone separated. I needed up having surgery to get a screw put in on April 1st, I w er not back to the doctor on April 21st and got another xray and the doctor said it looked like it was healing well and put me in another cast.This cast I am set to have on until May 15th and then I go back to the doctor for more Xrays. My wrist occasionally stings, but nothing serious. I have been able to put weight on it without any pain and my cast still allows me to touch all my fingers (except my pinkie) to my thumb. Anyway, I start a job doing trail maintenance for American Conservation Corp on June 4th. It is not something I want to miss as it was a competitive position to get a job with and it is paid and gives a college scholarship, plus it will be really fun. I am planning on doing the job weather or not my wirst is fully healed, but strongly hoping that it will be healed. I am a 24 year old, active and healthy Male with a pretty high pain tolerance. I just want to know, will I be ready to start my job on June 4th? It will definitely require a lot of work from my wrist as I'll be clearing trails of debris and what not. Am I going to hurt my chances of fully healing by doing this job?
