Depends: It depends if the fractures were displaced, how the fracture healed, and how much of the joint was involved. As your injuries are already 8-9 years old, you should have a good idea depending on your current function.

Could be chronic: Scaphoid fractures are prone to many long term complications. Associated injuries compound these. Most common is arthritis with collapse of the wrist joint. Additional treatment might be needed.

Impossible to say: This sounds like a very serious injury and without seeing how the bone healed and other soft tissue injury the amount of latter pain would be hard to predict under the best of circumstances. Pain is also very subjective and what doesn't bother you may be incapacitating for another.

Scaphoid fractures: After surgery don't hurt for long (if healed well). You may experience some discomfort along the scar. If you developed arthritis you can have some chronic pain. A new x-ray and re evaluation maybe a good thing.
