Elbow Surgery Recovery???!


Question: Elbow Surgery Recovery!?!?!?
My mother broke her elbow about 2 weeks ago!. The break required screws in it, so she got surgery on it about 3 days ago!. She's a very active person and is pretty depressed about the pain!. Her doctor isn't giving her many answers!. Has anybody out there experienced something similar!? How long was your recovery, and did you regain full use of your arm!? Thanks for any information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'm in high school and I have a friend who did football last year!. When practicing he got hit and knocked down, he landed with his arm in front of him, and just completly mested up his elbow!. He broke and dislocated his elbow at the same time!. That same day he got rushed to the hospital and got surgery!. He got two screws put into his elbow!. He was in a cast for about 2 or 2 and a half months!. But it really took him about 6 full months to fully heal!. I would suggest that your mother take it really easy for the first few weeks because it will be painful!. Make sure that she takes physical therapy classes trust me it helped my friend a lot!. His range of mption now is perfect you can't tell that he even injured it!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
