How can Elbow extension be restored after a bad break? Tried Therapy and mechanical extenders. Flexion restore

Unfortunately, most of the time, if therapy and mechanical stretchers don't work, there isn't much else that will.  Some doctors will do a manipulation for a flexion contracture of the elbow, where they place you under anesthesia and force it into extension.  However, with a history of fracture in the area, it will be hard to find a doctor who will take the risk of manipulating a fracture site.

Usually to rehabiltate muscle which may have been damaged or underused for a period of time.

Tennis elbow is an overuse of the wrist extensor muscles that causes inflammation around the lateral side of the elbow.  I would suggest ice.  There are also straps that you could use that are similar to those used for patellar tendons that will also help relieve the pain.

Tennis elbow is also known as cubital tunnle syndrome. I am unfamiliar with alternative medicine, but I do know the best treatment is a strong anti-inflammitory and immobilization (usually during sleep). If there is an herb that helps with inflammation, I'd use that and immobilize it

you could try a heating pad. I just went to see the doctor for the same thing and now I am on a muscle relaxant. He also suggested physiotherapy. I found those new heating patches to be quite effective.

You may have slightly torn a forearm muscle.\n\nRemember for 24 hours, R.I.C.E\nRest, Compression, Ice and Elevation\n\nHeat after that and anti-inflams.\nGood Luck

Talk to your Chiropractor about spinal stabilization exercises.  Also, talk to your Chiropractor about the bones being "out of place" versus not having the proper motion.  The "out of place" statement is pretty much a old-time analogy.  Actually, Chiropractors restore normal segmental motion between the vertebrae.  Now, if the motion has been abnormal for a while, it may take a while to restore the motion for any decent period of time.  Think of stretching the muscles: one stretch doesn't get all of the flexibility back in them- it takes repeat stretching and time.  Anyway, talk to your Chiropractor and have them explain it better to you.

Stretch!  Be careful not to 'bounce' in your stretches, just hold them.  This helped me immensely.

Honestly,  If the pain just started yesterday after lifting some boxes and isn't horrifically bad, then you should give it a few days.  90% of all back problems self-resolve within 10 days to 2 weeks regardless of the actual condition or the type of injury, provided it wasn't a major trauma.  If you are not opposed to taking over-the-counter meds, try Alleve, 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, each day for 7-10 days.  Ice is usually better immediately after injury because it decreases any associated swelling and numbs the nerve endings (20 minutes, every 4-6 hours during the day).  Also, try to stay moderately active with your typical daily routine but of course, no lifting or recreational sports until your are better.\n\nIf you are not significantly improved within 7 days (at least a  50%-75% decrease in symptoms) then make an appointment to see your physician.  If the physician recommends rehab, ask to be referred to an experienced physical therapist that specializes in manual therapy and/or spine care.  Also, do not be afraid to contact several rehab centers and ask if they have a therapist that specializes in spine care but you should really look for one that is either in private practice or manages a small facility.  I do NOT recommend Novacare and/or HealthSouth as most of these facilities do NOT allow their therapist control over their own schedule and you will not likely be able to see the same therapist from visit to visit, which is poor medicine dictated by corporate interest.  I also do NOT recommend chiropractic, there may be some decent chiros out there but their profession is so littered with quacks and money grubbers that it is a big gamble.

Figure out what is was you did that caused the strain then do the same exact thing but in a backwards reverse motion! That should pull everything right back to where it started! If at first you feel nothing, then just remember second verse, not the same as the first! RICE!Rest ice compression and elevation! To elevate the groin, that is the question!

stretch before and after, this will prevent the damage..\n\nas for repair drink lots of water and take it easy. take some motrin or advil if the pain is really bugging you.\n\nyou shouldn't be hurting yourself when lifting weights. this isn't a good habit to get into because it will just lead to problems..

1. Put on a band that you wear just below your elbow. Maybe able to find this in a drugstore.\n\n2. antiinflammatory drugs (like Advil)\n\n3. rest\n\nGive this about three weeks to work.

R.I.C.E.\nRest: relative rest, avoid lifting any moderate to heavy weights with that arm\nIce: ice the Bicep for 15 minutes every hour\nCompression: wrap an ace wrap around the arm to control swelling\nElevation: elevate the arm above the heart level to control swelling\n\nSee your physician if it is a large tear.  You will need to rest and not play sports for a few weeks to allow it to heal.

It depends on how bad the ligament tear is.  If it is completely torn, then surgery is most likely going to be necessary.  For minor sprains, just make sure you use ice in the acute phase.  It may also help to wrap it with an ace bandage to keep the elbow more stable while it is healing (although you don't want to wear it all the time; just when you're doing activites that tend to hurt the elbow).  Ligaments often take several weeks to heal due to their lack of blood supply; sometimes they can even take up to a full year to heal (depending on how bad the damage was, the age of the person, and if they keep reinjuring it).  If the arm has become immobilized for a long time (such as wearing a sling), you will probably need to exercise the muscles of the arm and shoulder as they may have atrophied a little.

Have you tried swimming? Its a great exercise. I used to do that when I had fractured my foot. Other exercises include bench press, tricep dips, shoulder press, pull ups. \n\nThere is all sorts of exercises that you can do. What is it that you are exactly looking at?

I had severely bruised both my knees in an auto accident.  It really messed up the sensation.  Like you, the structures were "fine", but since it injured the nerves, it took nearly a year to improve...actually, and at about 5 years it was about 75%.  Now, 15 years out, my knees feel good, but they're still not quite right and certain sensations a little strange.\n\nI would imagine that a little brief, gentle massage along with heat/cold/heat/cold alternating (2 mins@) every day would help to stimulate the nerves to regenerate more effectively.  \n\nIn the meantime, do whatever level of exercise that you can; this will speed healing.  Be patient, and remind your knees that it's safe to come out to play again!\n\nLove & Light!

Not much really. And this is one thing where you don't want anonymous internet advise. Take it up with a physical therapist. A therapist can also recommend exercises to train the knee specifically for a better recovery. \n\nThe recovery process can take many months, and even then there's stuff like skiing that you don't want to do without a good brace.
