Hi, i dislocated my elbow about 12 wks ago and broke the end of the humerous bone so that has been pinned, and have had some physio to try and get the movement back, i was told to dose myself up with pain killers so that i can forse it and break the soft tissue in order to get movement back, has anyone had this advise.? After wks of cruciating after pain i realised that my arm was springing back to where it started and that actially it was achieving nothing. My arm in flexion sits at 90degrees only and extension from their is about 4 inches only , hardly anything at all. I persisted in telling them that it just feels blocked and my efforts are pointless, my surgeon tells me to continue ,whilst my physio has agreed with me that my elbow feels blocked, i also had the same opinion from a private osteopath who couldnt help me. My surgeon has looked at my exrays and the placement of the pin and assures me everything is in order, and their is no further operation or tratment available. So basically i have to live with it, i am devastated my life has ended because my work is manual and its my own business, and all my sports activities are over. Is their any hope has anyone experienced this and has anyone had operations to improve movement. Thanks for any info.
