Hi,
I fell off my bike, and broke my radial head. This was 4 weeks to the day.
Treatment has been - one x ray at time of injury.
A sling and minimal movement for 3 weeks.
3rd week - no sling and start to bend.
4th week, shown some exercise's.

My question is, I can already move me arm, touch my right chest / shoulder with my broken arm. Bend also. But I cannot bend it back so I can touch my left should, and cannot straighten my arm so its straight with the side of my body / leg. Nore can I rotate my arm fully side to side. How long does this take, and will self exercise be enough to regain movement, also would acupuncture assist in helping me? Or any other treatment?

Many thanks.
