In December I broke the head of my humerus--nice chip off that has been screwed back on and cracked the tiba plateau. Have just started walking with a hemi walker and PT doing passive lifting of my elbow--ouch times 100 (and my PT says I'm not a woose). I am allowed to let my arm dangle from my shoulder and shrug my shoulders. All I can think about is getting back in the pool and moving my arm around. So scared that I won't have a full recovery. Anyone ever experienced these injuries? I'm 60 and know healing and recovery take longer. Next Dr. appointment on 29, should I ask if I can get back in pool?
Some of my back ground, Hip replaced in 1999:cane:. again replaced in 2007 :cane:, hip surgery on same hip in 2011:cane:. Still swimming all team practices after rehab, with some limits, but still hanging in there! YES , ask the Doc. when you can start to get back into the pool. Start slowly & enjoy the water again.
