View allI had scaphoid nonunion AVN surgery in 2018 with a bone graft from my iliac crest and K-wire fixation. It's been 4 years now, but I still get pain every 3-4 months when I lift weights or play cricket, though it goes away in 2-3 days. My surgeon checked my recent X-ray and said the bone looks fine and some pain is normal. Does this sound right? Should I be worried about the recurring pain even after all this time?
