2 fractured bones; FC1 in 5 weeks.

Hey everyone, so I fractured two bones in my hand today and the doctor said it'll probably take 6-8 weeks to heal and my flight physical is on March 9th. I'm pretty sure I have to move it to a later date, or can I go with a cast? I'm just a little worried this might affect me more than I would like. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything on this.

At a minimum, you'll need results from an ortho. If your lucky, the fractures won't require a cast. Most likely this will delay you a month or two.

Alright, a little update on my situation. I had to get a cast, but I'm only wearing it for 3 more weeks. I'm going to get it off on the 6th of March. My flight physical is supposed to be the 9th of March. Would going to my physical with a bit of stiffness in my hand be alright or no?

You'll be okay. bring copies of the Ortho / PCM eval and be honest. As long as it's not a strong decrease in strength, mobility, etc., you'll be fine. At most, they'll have you re-examined in a few weeks.
