Hi, a good Orthopaedic consultant will take your life-style into consideration prior to surgery, discussing your expectations and offering you physiotherapy both pre and post op.

Obviously the body needs to heal so it would be silly taking/throwing heavy shots or trying to do too much too soon.

I'm assuming you were in a Raymed splint and advised to use elbow crutches initially post op?

Any questions or queries you have I would say contact the secretary of the consultant looking after you, have them pass on your concerns and arrange a meeting, failing this ask your physiotherapist to write/phone the doc, your physio will then work with you to stregthen the muscles, ligaments and tendons which will all have been effected.

Good luck
