I'm a javelin thrower and recently injured myself throwing.
My arm went very numb, I couldn't grip and couldn't move my elbow very well. This wore off after a few days, and my MRI scan confirmed a partial tear of my UCL ligament.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice to help me heal faster / rehab etc, as I really want to fix up fast and efficiently. I know that the collagen needs time to mature from Type 3 so I should take it easy but I have read in some places about encouraging fibroblast activity etc and I was wondering if there are any ways to speed this up. Rehab exercises would also be helpful.
Thank you!
