can't straighten right arm
Posted: 07-11-08 13:07pm

I have had 2 elbow surgeries several years ago - 1 scope to remove debris and a bone spur removal. I still cannot straighten my right arm all the way. I was given a turnbuckle brace to use after the surgeries which is torture to use. I would really like to get the arm straight again because it affects my range of motion for reaching, and for playing tennis and other sports. The way my arm is carried is described as a rifle stock arm - slightly bent. Are there any exercises that are recommended and should I get that brace back out again? I have tried deep massage and accupunture treatments in the past. Thanks for any help you can offer - Ted
