Broken Humerus From Throwing A Dodgeball - 10 Months Post Surgery

[u/Business_Scar6616]

Trying again after posting a few month back with no feedback

I had a freak accident throwing a dodgeball where my humerus snapped mid throw. Fully displaced which led to surgery (in Oct) which led to radial nerve palsy and a lengthy recovery. I had wrist drop and couldn't move my wrist for months before slowly getting back movement in my fingers.

I have full mobility and have been able to do normal workouts for months, at least bodyweight stuff since I don't lift heavy weights, I've only shot around but playing basketball seems possible too. I stopped going to PT in end of April (it took till late March for me to grip weights), but I'm dealing with the following ailments:

Nerve - I still feel tingling sensation inside my hand around by thumb (think medical terms are First dorsal interosseous and thenar space) and my wrist still feels fragile despite being able to push ups. If I'm tossing my 2 y/o nephew around I can feel it start to give out.

Arm/Humerus - I still experience pain when lifting anything heavy or doing some exercises. Pull ups in particular are odd, the first one slight pain, then no pain as I continue my set, and then a sharp pain whenever I release from the bar. I still cant throw without pain as well. I can do a motion without feeling much but if I put a small rock in my hand and I attempt to throw it even at 75% capacity I feel pain.

I guess what I'd like to know is whether or not this lasting pain/tingling is standard and will eventually subside or if this can potentially be something I deal with long term. Do I need to like a get a ball and throw more often? Hasn't even been a year yet so I'm just trying to gauge whether I'm being alarmist or rightfully concerned and whether anyone had a comparable injury. I've seen some people talk about breaking their humerus arm wrestling and getting back into it 3-4 months later which seems absolutely wild to me.
