A member asked:
How long can i expect pain and stiffness in my elbow joint after being in a long arm cast for 6 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could take a while : 6 weeks is a long time for your elbow to be immobilized. You are young. With some physical therapy and time, i would expect you should regain most of your motion.
