I sustained an injury toward the beginning of my year round season. I dislocated my elbow, and I'm a freestyler (for the most part). My extension and contraction has been significantly reduced, although my physical therapist and I are trying to regain what was lost. I swim unevenly (you know what I mean, off balance) and I have lost strength in that arm. I have been kicking, and I still kind of stink at that - I never was a good kicker - but it's improving. My upper body has lost some stamina in races, due to the fact that I have been kicking since the beginning of September to just a few weeks ago, when I started using my arm.
Does anyone know how I could regain strength, flexibility, endurance, and mobility in my left elbow, after such an accident? Has anyone sustained a bad accident such as this?
Thanks.

I don't "know" for sure, but my guess would be that it is simply going to take some time to regain your mobility and stamina. Your PT should have a pretty good idea of what you should expect on the road to recovery, what does he have to say?
