If you trust your ortho, just be patient. (See what I did there?)
My husband (passed away) was an orthopaedic surgeon. Scaphoid fractures are notorious for slow healing because of poor blood supply. Depending on exactly where the break occured, various fixation treatments can be used. The cast with thumb immobilization is common.
Like everyone else said, get good xrays and a good orthopedic doc.
Good luck. A cast in this heat is no fun!
