I disclocated by elbow just over 3 weeks ago - no bone damage, some ligament damage. I've been in a splint since then, but I'm finally out of that and looking to get back to sport.
The advice I have so far is "just use it normally, and we'll see in 3 weeks whether the range of movement has come back, then we'll consider physio". This doesn't sound quite right to me - I kind of thought a more pro-active approach to rehab would make more sense, and the web is pointing me in that direction also. I'm also concerned, since the doc wasn't really on my list of preferred specialists (I understand they're all off at a conference).
Anyone got any suggestions for me?
