dislocated elbow

[crazycanuck]

Owie Lph!!!

A friend of ours dislocated her elbow 2yrs ago & was off the bike for 6 weeks. Isn't that the average time all dr's give these days..6-8 weeks

Take care of yourself! Remember, you might be able use a trainer but check this out with a professional first...

That's awful! I hope it heals faster than normal and that the pain fades rapidly.
Poor thing!

Yeoch! No idea how long to heal and be back on a bike - but I don't think I'd want to chance that one

Heal fast

So sorry for your accident! When I rode with America by Bicycle 2 yrs ago there were 2 men on the ride who had both recovered from serious elbow injuries. They were riding very well (and all the way across the US in 49 days too!) You are much younger than they were when they were injured, and I'm willing to bet you will have a very good recovery. Be patient, and find yourself a great PT when it's time. The PT part is the best - it's hard, but it's like training - you can really positively take part in your recovery. Hoping that you are able to find some endorphin-producing activity in the meantime.... Wishing you a speedy recovery! Tokie

I would echo everyone else with finding a good PT when the cast comes off. It'll do you a world of good
