I had my follow up appointment on Wednesday. It's been about 10 weeks since I broke my arm and about 4 weeks out of a cast! My bones are healing correctly which is great! - however now there is a concern with my nerves. A "fuse" is blown from my spine that sends signals to my left arm. I start occupational therapy 3x a week to try to get things moving and the "fuse" turned back on.
My first OT appointment was yesterday. I really like my therapist and she was happy with the limited ranger of "motion" I have already. We did some tests and stretches and then she taped my shoulder and arm up to help realign my shoulder, muscles and nerves. I have at home exercises to help regain strength and motion.
I asked my therapist if she had any inkling of a time frame of how long I'll be rehabbing my arm. Her response: You're in for a very long rehab.
That's all for now, enjoy the benefits of being able to use both of your arms!
