Broken Scaphoid pain/numbness

Broken Scaphoid pain/numbness

my scaphiod is broken about 7/8 of the way through the scahpiod bone just below my thumb and i had a cast on for 6 weeks i went back to get it taken off and re x-rayed they said it was still broken and put me in a new cast for 3 weeks.

about a week after i got the new cast on (yesterday and today) im getting minor swelling in my fingers and  pins and needles and numbness when i move my fingers/thumb and pain around the base of my thumb and down my hand on the inside. i tried keeping it elevated last night as i slept and it didnt help should i get it looked at?
what could be wrong?? i dont smoke and am not going to the gym or playing sports or anything i do how ever do alot of typing at work could that be why?


Regards Jesse
