Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate some help please. i fractured my radial head eight weeks ago and the doctors also think i dislocated my elbow too, but it popped itself back in. they were considering surgery at first but then decided to manage it conservatively. my problem is that yesterday the pain got really bad again, it almost feels like im back to the beginning stages of my recovery again. it feels like my arm is burning and every time i move it its excruciating. i can also feel a lot of movement in my arms. i cant straighten my arm at all! is this normal? should i be worried? im not seeing my doctor for another two weeks. i know elbow breaks take a long time to recover from but should i be seeing more progress? thank you! 😃

    Get in contact with your doctor again, asap. Pain like that can be sign something is not right - better safe than sorry.
