get a hand exerciser and just keep working your hand. If you don't it will get stiffer. Also do flexibility exercises . The more you work it the better off you will be.

I agree. I broke my right wrist about twenty-five years ago, and got most of my range of motion back from doing the stretching and strengthening exercises. You'll be glad later on that you invested the necessary time and pain now. Trust me on this.
