Today I had my first proper physio session the appointment last week was just a pre treatment check to talk about what needs doing & take some measurements of the angles ect.

So last week it was measured at 40* from straight, I have been doing some exercises including holding a 1kg weight & just letting it hang down rather than 'pumping iron'.

Before we started today it was checked again & was at 35*...''That's good, now lets see what a little jumping up & down on it can get...hahaha..''

After some gentle pulling, pushing, grunting, twisting, hurting, mild under breath swearing, cracking, popping & creaking the real fun began...

Bloody hell on full extension it did smart a bit, but nothing a real man can't take...unfortunately he wasn't there today, I was, so I had to endure it.

At the end, about 15-20 mins checked again & it was at 20*...''Very good...stop crying now...see you again on Wed's for more of the same...''

At home now & yes it does hurt but not too bad & it is noticeably straighter than before so all good.

Get me Elbow sorted & then in four weeks when the cast is off start all over again with me wrist, which I can foresee is going to be a whole lot more painful...

its a very slow process buddy. take some strong meds an hour before the physio starts, it all helps.........

I think that is called self physio.

wrap a bit of cling film around it. It should make it splash proof and cut down on the stains a bit too.

Too late for that ! Anyway operating cling film is hard enough with two hands...try it with one slightly wonky non dominant hand...

maccers, you piss me up keep it going mate, re physio', more pain at the start is the sign of a good physio, and a quicker better recovery.
