I was actually thinking about this question earlier today.
I only wear mine while walking in public. And I use my arm as a normal arm for the most part (I can even tie my shoes). I find I end up trying to "use it" too much a couple of times a day (doing dishes or cooking usually), but for the most part, I'm just trying to get on as if it's normal.
So. Hopefully I'm not prolonging the healing process by over using it, or encouraging the bone to do stupid things like not heal.
These are exactly the thoughts and experiences I've having.
Ah, and I finally got to the fracture clinic. Bone hasn't begun to move yet. Back in four weeks to see if it's moved/started to fuse. If not, surgery. Hurrah!
Wahay, good luck with that. I have an appointment with a specialist today.
