Thanks all for the responses/help. I keep thinking how I just wished I didn't forget my gloves that day. Though I will say I have easily gotten a few more bangs as a result of this injury. I guess that's one bright side.
No prescription drugs, still taking the supplements though not as frequently.
Yeah, I'm not going to be punching anything for awhile. I started gripping the lat pull down bar, and other weights recently. All is ok for that, for now.
Well I'm off to Europe in a few days so it'll have to wait until I come back. I'll do another xray/CT and see where it stands.
I know. Trying to lessen it a bit by bit.

slubu, are you on any prescription drugs?
Are you still taking any of these supplements?

Start using it more and more, but no impact sports for at least a year.

Very strange. I had the exact same fracture as you, and I'm 2 days out of my cast (which was on for 3.5 weeks). Took an x-ray at the hospital and the doc said all was well. I can start working out right away, I only have to avoid shocks to my hand like you get with boxing or hitting nails with a hammer.
The docter said that if it hadn't healed right, he would do an simple surgery in which he would bolt the bone together with a screw.
I would contact another specialist right away and ask for an operation. You can even do it under a local anaesthetic.

Smoking seems to be a major block for healing (bones).
