4 Months Post-Op

While I have resumed normal activities for the most part, I still lack a LOT of strength in my arm.  My elbow has a significant pulling pain if I try to do too much.  I've tried to do chin-ups/pull-ups but I still can't do more than about 6 before I have to stop because of the pulling pain in my elbow.  I guess I'm just not quite there yet even though I have taken things very slowly.

As for pain to the touch, it has diminished greatly.  However it feel like there is a small bruise there if I push on the incision area.  I had medial epicondylitis (sp?) or Golfer's Elbow in my right elbow along with my nerve issue.  This is a similar pain.  Not that I think I have Golfer's Elbow in my left elbow, just a similar pain to compare it to.

So overall, continued steady, slow improvement.  Going to be a while before it feels close to normal.
