Hello Doctor/s My name is Luke and I am a 21 year old male. I am inquiring today in regards to a bone graft placed into my right wristed scaphoid. I suffered an impact about 2-3 years ago that left it fractured. The bone had been dying so the doctor had recommended putting a vascuralized graft from the local wrist bone to aid circulation to get the bone alive again. It has been about 3 days now since the operation and I can type and write and there is little to no pain, with the cast of course. This is something that I have been researching extensively to try and gain an understanding on my odds of full recovery and union of the bone to avoid osteo-arthritis. So I will ask my question now : Is it possible that excessive masturbation can disrupt this process? As a former athlete I researched this to find information on fluctuating calcium levels that I need for bone health and recovery. Also, it seems to generally release a lot of energy, of course everything should be in moderation, but could this have a seriouis effect? Also, while I have you here, I have read that in compliant patients, there is a recover percentage of anywhere between 70-85, are my odds increased because I am young and healthy? Thank you very much for your time, and I am very appreciative to have this resource at my disposal, Best Regards, Luke
