Elbow Locked

**biodiversity** · 11-28-2007, 10:42 AM

I broke my arm (left humerus) 6 weeks ago Broke my left upper arm
yesterday the doc removed my cast my elbow was locked at 90 degree but after stretching it last night I can now move it more comfortably but still not like the other arm, what can I do to unlock my elbow faster? is there special topical creams or exercises to help me ?

It takes time! Do light weights twice a week for that area for about 3 sets. I went through the same scenario after popping my bicep tendon doing rest-pause training (NEVER AGAIN!). It took me about 6 months before I could fully extend my arm.

go to rehab and get that shit working again. remember, you only get one body and to me that makes it priceless.

actually its getting better, after stretching all the day now I can reach the back of my neck and my shoulder is more flexible, I will wait a week before going to rehab.
