so just got my cast off today for my broken wrist after four weeks of having one on and my doctor said i can go back to lifting after April 15th.
Until then he said do nerf ball squeezes 50 times a day for a week.
The next two weeks do tennis ball squeezes 50 times a day, and take a hammer and rotate my wrist 50 times a day to help regain range of motion.
Then come April 15th I can go back to weightlifting and all other activities.

So for anyone who knows, is there going to be some noticable pain with 3 weeks, or should just stick to some light lifting just for safety sake?

And maybe some wrist exercises after the 3 weeks i should do to help strengthen the wrist?
 
Ok, when you do the exercises that were suggested you should do them to the point right before you feel pain. I can not stress enough how there should be no pain when doing the ball squeezes and hammer rotations.

Once done I would keep in mind your wrist might take some time to heal fully so any exercise you do, be careful not to push your wrist too far.

For exercises to strengthen the wrist I would suggest these:





These are a couple of exercises I did to build more strength after my injury in gymnastics. Good luck and be safe.
