Do what the docs tell you!!! If they say don't use it for 3 weeks don't use it for 4!! My cousin-in-law broke his wrist and while it was healing, was moving some furniture with the wife and re-injured it. Long story short, he had to get his wrist pinned and now can't move it at all! Now I realize that it could be a totally different break and in a different area on the wrist, but be careful while you're healing Ian, Was it your throttle wrist?
