I had the radial head of my right arm replaced about three weeks ago. Wondering if anyone out there has gone through the same (or similar) surgery and what the recovery time has been. I browsed the posts and most are shoulder / knee / hip issues.

Wow! 1 arm was bad enough, but both arms at the same time....I give you a ton of credit.
Recovery is going well and according to the surgeon, I should be able to make a full recovery. I got back in the water after 2 weeks just to kick and move the arm around a bit. It has really helpd to decrease the swelling and increase the mobility much quicker than just doing PT (which I'm at 2x / wk).
Thanks for the feedback!
