Yeah, I think mine broke nearer the end than most do. Dunno what that means for healing.
I'm not seeing any signs of tension like you have, it's just noticeably a different shape but so is the wrist I broke 2o odd years ago.
I took cocodamol at first but got to three days and stopped, doc has said the three day thing is really just because it's available over the counter and he's prescribed me some more.
Not sure if it's something you'd be into but I picked up some CBD gummies from Holland and Barrett, I'd been thinking of getting some for a while as I sometimes don't sleep so good due to general back/shoulder/neck pain, anyway, took a couple about an hour before going to bed last night and got the best sleep I've had since my break.
When I took my sick line in to my work they were angling at getting me back sooner just to do some coaching (normally I'm doing mechanic duties and handing out hire bikes which means lifting them on and off hooks on the wall) which I might think about but definitely not before my next hospital appointment.

Yours looks nice and neat from that x-ray but yeah I hear they settle in different places and will just heal like that. I've got a considerable outcropping into my skin, there's little white spots where there's tension like a tent.
I was on 10mg co-dydramol which kept me nice and numb but i'm now not really on anything. It's really uncomfortable first thing in the mornings but just a general ache throughout the day now. I did instinctually try to reach for a falling phone the other day and that floored me for about 20 minutes.
@MrBaklava He might use this as an excuse to put it on the back burner which is understandable tbf.
@giofox Yeah happened last monday in which the following 6 days were the hottest most consistent sun we've had so far this year. Nightmare.
I've heard the speed of recovery after surgery has been really surprising for most people. Will hold back on the skids for a while longer in that case. I heard a nasty story of a pothole impact essentially re-fracturing a semi-healing bone. Awful.
I've semi signed myself back on to work but now i've got the visual of how bad the x-ray is I don't know what I was thinking.
