A member asked:
I'm six weeks post operation from a radial head replacement. i'm having very slow progress with rom due to pain. x ray is fine , it really feels stuck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elbow pain: from a radial head displacement and surgery may take quite a wile to heal. Be consistent and vigilant with your therapy so the joint will not become "frozen' The pain will gradually decrease and the ROM may become close to normal.
