PaRtZ Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Alot of you may be aware that I managed to do this a few weeks ago IE im out of action. I get an X-ray in 3 weeks time where by then it should be healed. Does anyone who has suffered similar have any advice on how to regain strength in the arm? At the moment my tendons are killing me whenever I grab tight on something and obviously Im looking at getting back into riding and climbing as soon as possible. Any cheap physio exercisses I can do are welcomed too! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 How was it treated? 3 weeks is a bit optimistic in most cases... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 How was it treated? 3 weeks is a bit optimistic in most cases... Hahaha no no. I have 3 MORE weeks I got to A & E (via helicopter for some reason) where they gave me a plaster o' paris cast temporarily and then went to the fracture clinic to get a fibre glass cast, halfway up my bicep to my wrist. My elbow's obviously at 90degrees and I've been like that since 20th March: Number 20 For those interested in how it happened: Climbers reading: UKC Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danfoss - BANNED Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) It your arm you broke? I highly recomend the powerball. I dislocated my elbow then 6 months latter broke my wrist, scafoid, raidal with it fracturing into the elbow and some of my hand. I spent a good 7 months in plaster. Powerball really helped my recovery. I swam as well kinda hydro pheraphy sort of thing. Basic lifting with cans of beans or bottles of water, streching as well. Im right handed so my left was weeker and much uncoordinated but using the powerball helped this and now its the same as my right. Powerball is an amazing bit of kit. I did a good hour a day with it in front of the tv or sat in the sun. The other thing i got whilest in cast was a Limbo cover so i could shower. Like a condom wetsuite thing and make everything easyer Edited April 11, 2011 by Danfoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
