When will I be okay, I broke my arm?!


Question: When will I be okay, I broke my arm?
I recently broke my arm playing basketball, about a month ago to be exact. I went to jump up and block this kid, but he stayed low, took out my legs and I fell on my arm. I ended up breaking my arm, my radius, it is a radial head fracture, connecting to my elbow. It's actually 5 weeks since the injury and while some of my movement is back it is not nearly as it used to be. My wrist is in pain also. I did not get a cast on or have surgery because I got a dental abscess 2 days before my surgery. I have been doing therapy but my elbow is still swollen and it is preventing me from fully extending my arm. Will I be okay, and if so how long from now most likely?

Rehab depends on several factors, including your age and gender. You should be fine in 12 to 26 weeks of agressive rehab.

Good luck.
