Little update… I've been in the articulation brace for a few weeks now. Each Friday I have been allowed an additional 10 degrees of movement. This past Friday I felt as if the next click would get me to a straight arm even though there weee more clicks left in the braces articulation. I have been anticipating on making a full extension with that arm to begin working on the tendons full flexibility. In addition to the flexibility I have been strengthening the bicep muscle with resistance bands. Yesterday I decided to take the brace off and just see how the natural articulation of the elbow felt. It was a bit stiff but loosened up buddy within a few minutes. I kept the brace off the rest of the evening and made sure not to pick up anything more then about 3 lbs. it's very exciting but I know I need to temper my exposure to any potentially compromising situations that would cause me to damage my arm again while not wearing the brace. Slow and steady!!
