Answers:
I wish that you gave more information about what was broken!. Response to this would be more specific!. Return to the orthopedist and ask him for a referral to a physical therapist!. If your state has direct access to physical therapy you don't need a referral!. What problems are you having!? Is there a loss of range of motion!? What kind of strength does the hand have!? Did you break the dominant or non-dominant hand!? All of this is important!. Without this information it is difficult to know what advice to give!. If there is no loss of range of motion then strengthening is the first order!. This can be done with Silly Putty and just squeezing the stuff!. Hand grippers come in different strengths( color coded) and they are great!. If your hand is ready for it, that means no pain or swelling, get a large bucket or basin and fill it with sand!. Place your hand in the sand and try to open and close the fingers!. Also try to turn the palm up and then down!. There are a considerable number of exercises that would help you but at this point get to a therapist for specific ones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If your GP won't refer you to a Physio, pop in to your local gym and see one of their older more experienced trainers or get the name of a good sports therapist (it'll cost you but be worth it)!.!.You can see a Physio privately and again it will cost!. Check the library or Internet for suitable exercises, but don't overdo it and always stretch after exercise!. If you don't know what you are doing you can do more harm than good by excessive exercise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should go back to the docter and say wich one he wants you to do its that easy
