Speaking from experience, a broken wrist recovery can be long and painful. Shattered my throttle wrist at age 21. Pins were removed at about 2 months or so, and the cast was sectioned maybe a month later. Used that half cast for at least a month. Bought a 100cc dirt bike about 5 months into recovery, for the therapy. Took about a year to reach a point where front wheel bumps stopped generating a shock like a heavy jolt of static through my arm. Ended up with a 1/4 turn wrist, which doesn't work too well on pavement with a 750cc bike. I was treated by the chief orthopedic surgeon in a backwoods hospital.
Prayed.
