I'll admit, I'm a bit of a hotshot athlete. I always like to push the envelope to be faster and better than anyone else on the team. Right now, I'm out on rehab leave for elbow surgery. They had to redo my ulnar ligament. The therapist has given me a printout of what I can and can't do week-by-week for the next six months. I'm thinking I'd like to move that up as quickly as possible. What can I skip? 3 years 42 weeks ago 475
I am a competitive gymnast in floor exercise and the balance beam. Last summer in a competition, I blew out the ligament on the inside of my elbow. Rehab didn't work to give me the stability I need, so I'm having reconstructive surgery. The surgeon mentioned a long rehab process but didn't say much about it. Just how long will it take for me to get back into competition? 3 years 42 weeks ago 371
I'm investigating the possibility of having an elbow replacement. I am very active and it is my dominant arm. The information I've read so far says there is a high revision rate in people my age (32 years old). Why is that? 3 years 45 weeks ago 432
Our orthopedic surgeon doesn't think our 23-year-old daughter with severe elbow deformities from rheumatoid arthritis should jump right to elbow replacements. She is recommending surgery that she calls a nonreplacement option. We are thinking about going to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion. Do they even do this kind of surgery there? 3 years 45 weeks ago 373
I have a job as a glorified administrative assistant, which means I file and type all day. I've been struggling with a bad case of tennis elbow -- just can't seem to shake it. If I have surgery and it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll lose my job. But if it gets much worse, I won't be able to do my job then either. What do other people do in these kinds of situations? 3 years 49 weeks ago 557
