Hi
Just wandered if anyone had any similar experiences and could give any advice. My daughter broke her medial epicondyl in May and had surgery on her elbow. She was heartbroken as she wasn't allowed to do sport at school or go to dance as well as missing her beloved gymnastics. In August she had a procedure to remove the metalwork from her elbow and the wound healed quickly . When I asked the doctor if she could do sport again he just said to build it up gradually. As this conversation took place just as she was on her way into theatre there wasn't really enough time to chat. It has now been 16 weeks since the initial injury and I am allowing my daughter to do sport at school and dance at weekends. However I am unsure as to when to allow her back to gymnastics. Medical advice is vague and to be honest the risk of further injuries fills me with dread.
