Hi Everyone!

I recently broke the fifth metacaprel in my right hand, otherwise known as the boxers fracture. A friend referred me to this site for advice as i'm now living in a non-english speaking country, Korea to be precise, and i haven't a clue how to start my recovery. I'm having physical therapy which consists of placing my hand in parafin wax, then having an ultrasound over my finger, then having electric pulses across the same section. The guy who usually translates for our school is away for two months which makes things really difficult as i can't ask the simplest of questions like what i should be doing at home, how long before i can start lifting in a gym again, why am i putting my hand in wax!!! etc, etc.

So, i thought i would come here to see if anyone has had a similar injury, and ask for some advice or tips as it is greatly needed and appreciated!!

Cheers in advance guys!
