I dislocated and fractured my right elbow 9 weeks ago. I lost my full ROM, but with PT now feel quite better. I still cannot feed myself with right hand, comb my hair, put a makeup or brush my teeth. Therapist recommended to start using an elbow brace for flexing and that is my next step. I also just started myofacial release and just with one secion I felt huge relive in the tension and stiffness in my elbow and whole hand. This is not fun at all, but it feels good to see all the improvements. Need my hand back so I can do regular stuff and get back to "normal".

My 7 years nephew had a broken elbow after surgery his hand was put in a stabilizer after a month or two can't recall, the wires was removed but his elbows were completely stiffened on top of that he had strength lost I couldn't even hold up a class of water or hold a pencil in his hands to write and mind you this was his right hand which he use for everything, after months of therapy he is still not fully recovered maybe 40% and has become left handed.
@@anooptomar13 my sister (his mother) decided not to have him go through that pain again so we focus on just therapy after almost a year of therapy he now could uses his hand, I fact he now used both left and right to write, he could do averyday activities, however his elbow are somewhat still stiff at certain angles so much that he can't pitch properly anymore (he used to be a pitcher in baseball, he has started playing again but because of the stiffness is not able to perform at his full potential, so he had to change positions) I would say he is 70% recovered
Hmm they didn't mention how severe my case was, my elbow was completely shattered, all the bones were removed and than metal plates put in. Thankfully I can move my hand and arm pretty well it's just lifting and carrying stuff.
Hey there I dislocated and fractured my right elbow It's been 7 weeks now.. How long will it take to heal and and get my motion back and also the inflammation will heal?
I doubt you guys know the answer to this but here we go. When i was 12-13 like 16 years ago i fractured my whole elbow all 3 bones. Basically i hyper-extended it; picture it, I fell with my left hand pointed backwards and instead of my arm extending in the way it should naturally, it collapsed backwards completely. Like no joke my hand touched my the back of my head i remember feeling it. Basically i had surgery (but they didn't make an incision they "pushed my bones back together manually." in their words. Regular stuff cast on for 2 weeks then went got it changed had it on for another 2 weeks. Thing is i moved from cali to nyc before i was able to start physical therapy. And i have basic movements in my arm just cant twist it to the left or right or close it all the way when i flex. My arm is still weak and even when i work out i focus on that arm more, and it never seems to get bigger. Shit looks weird on my body. Even in my profile pic you can see my left arm(broken one) is always to the side. Sorry for being so long, But what can i do?!?!
bro, good commentary and diction, are you kidding? personally, i felt let down that you stopped so short! I too hyperextended (motor bike, way too fast, left turn, back brake not doing the job, tapped front and SUPERMAN to concrete, no road burn, right arm dominate too) my elbow and have three (3) screws on the radius. Scenario is this: insurance, doctor both failed (wonder why?) and I have no orthopedic anymore, fired him and his staff, so I'm 6 weeks into a (3) month ordeal and no doctor to write PT instructions. Vigorously searching the internet, do I have a general practitioner but I'm not sure everyone is the same in terms of physicality clearly. No two surgeries are a testament to the former, so I think you should try muscle milk protein and concentrate on the hurt arm, leaving the other arm out of workout for a few weeks. The only reason I say muscle milk (or other brands with similar ingredients) is this: I just ran out of it and after only 4 days, my body seems to now be aching and I can't workout anything but LEGS. Are you an upper body lifter and don't work out legs? Interesting is that I have not lost a but bit of muscle even though I can only work legs (5'11" 205, 40 yrs old) and I use that new step machine that looks like an escalator. Also, working out legs hard core will set off all the chemicals in the body including the cortisones and testosterone and do it on Mondays. Sounds stupid, but if I can't lift a twelve pack or open a door, but I can squat 500 lbs, then something has to be happening and i attribute it to diet and that damn muscle milk plus this: www.livestrong.com/article/484036-does-working-out-legs-help-your-body-get-bigger-faster/
me and my cousin was rideing bike and I didn't had my glass but I had halment and then I hite and mailbox and fall and hit my elbow in the ground and when I want the doctor I had take x-ray and then they say I had fracture and then the doctor say I need a cast and I hate the cast it was so ishe and then when I the nruse took the cast off I was so happy and my elbow is twist it not the best thing an di take therapy and my therapy say if the therapy work then no surgery if it doesn't I have surgery

@@UmerFarooq-qt4jy I had a communited olecranon fracture.had surgery with K-wire implants . It's been two months now.. my extension is 30° and flexion is 80°.. I've started physiotherapy 2 weeks ago.. but elbow is still very stiff . It's good to hear that u have ur movements back. I hope I can regain the same soon..
