bmxmom, I broke my scaphoid on July 12th of 05 and it did not heal until October 8th of 05. It took forever to heal due to the very limited circulation of that bone. I was in the process of getting a bone stimulator but it never happened. Apparently it is expensive to own/rent the device. My insurance carrier and most others, I was told, do not want to pay for this until the usual required healing time period has elapsed 6-8 weeks. At this point I was in September getting x-rays every two weeks and the Doctor did not feel it would do me any good. I am 38 by the way, never broke this wrist before. Hope he heals up fast.
