I broke my wrist and I’m worried I shifted something out of place?

Okay so technically it’s a broken hand and a broken wrist, because I’ve done a clean break from the 4th metacarpal right through to my wrist. I did it falling off a horse.

It’s been about 4wks and apparently i’m in the stage of a callous or whatever it is forming, but my bone is still completely lose and still able to move.

The doctors were thinking about doing surgery on it but decided not to because after 2wks, it hadn’t shifted. I came very close though.

I’m currently in a fibreglass cast and I’ve noticed that I still have some sort of wrist movement and I’m not allowed to move my wrist at all (I keep getting restless and moving my wrist around) My fingers have been left out because I’m allowed to use them for small things but no lifting.

Okay so here’s the problem. I keep lifting heavy stuff, doing things that require a lot of force, walking my dogs by the collar while they pull (multiple times a day), carrying groceries, etc etc. About an hour ago I lifted a very heavy box full of books. I’ve also leant on my hand a few times and felt my wrist move and it hurts. I’m basically doing everything I would do normally without a break. I know it’s dumb, but doing things with one hand is pretty hard.

I’ve been having a fair bit of pain and the area feels hot, like it’s inflamed. Anything from aching to sharp pains. I’m having sharp pains right now.

Should I be worried that I’ve shifted the bone out of place? I think I have X-rays this week but I haven’t had any since I broke it. I’ll be annoyed at myself I did because I just wanna ride again.
