Broke my left Scaphoid about six years ago boxing (just to be different). I was originally put into plaster for six weeks, had the plaster taken off went about my business for a couple of weeks in quite a lot of pain until I went back to see another doctor who told me the bone hadn't knitted at all, and the two weeks without plaster had made it worse. Had to have the bone pinned, very very painful stuff. My wrist still isn't right - for example I can't do ten pin bowling, and have to wear a wrist support for any strenuous exercise, and it generally goes very stiff for most of the winter months!
So my advice is to do nothing with it - literally don't use that hand - you really want it to heal the first time.
