There is the risk of having a permanent non-union. Immobilization is the best course. There is also the risk og nerve damage from the repetitive motion over the nerve. Could cause use and function problems later. There is the risk that chronic pain known as RSD Reflex Sympathetic Dysthrophy could develope. This will require a lot of medication for pain, which could lead to chemical dependency. I don't know you or your personal situation but weigh out the few weeks of immobilozation versus the potential for long term life altering scenerios. Chronic pain and chemical dependency changes who you are as a person. Take care of yourself...no one will care for you like you,,except Jesus
