Elbow Reconstruction

I have finally gotten my cast off. It is so nice to get my arm back.  It felt really weird to feel a breeze on my arm.  It had been 10 weeks since I got my cast off.  I am going to physical therapy today. I am nervous about physical therapy today. I am nervous because I am already in a lot of pain, and I know that going to physical therapy is going to make the pain worse.
For those of you who don't know, I had to have reconstruction surgery on my elbow because in 2014 I jumped off a highway overpass, and I tore tendons in my elbow.  I had my first reconstruction December 2014, but my tendon grafts tore, so I had to have another one. This time, my doctor, who I highly recommend Dr William Gowski, he drilled three holes into my bone, and he wrapped the tendons from one hole to the next.  He told me when I got my cast off that I heal "Way to fast, that most people don't get movement back for about 6 months after they have surgery." I have almost all of my range of motion back. I was at a 90 degree angle for 10 weeks, and now I basically can move my arm all the way straight. I have my motion back to be able to move my hand up to my face. I can only do it for a few seconds before it hurts.  But at least I can do it.

Until next time
