Now i wanted to ask why it not repair as fast as before.

Is that serious condition ,
Will it affect my life in future
Plz reply me here. Don't ask n say for personal consultation please!!!
It's a minor fracture smaller than a piece of dry coriander
Fracture usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for healing. Since your fracture was already in healing phase during 2nd injury, it may take another 6 to 8 weeks for complete healing..
Next Steps
Since the fracture is not major, you need to continue using the support brace.. Also, take calcium, vitamin d supplements for enhanced healing.. Take analgesic for pain, high protein diet..
Health Tips
Avoid heavy work, also get one X ray of opposite wrist to see if there is any pathological weakness of bone since there has been recurring fracture..
