I had done my left hand TBW surgery. It's been around 8monts running. Now I can do push ups and i can left 40 to 50kg. But m in still recovery conditions.. If any one watching this video before surgery don't worry it will be fine, just do some exercise after one or half month of your surgery..

I had plate fixation done to my elbow. Still in the process of recovery though, the surgery was done less than a month ago.

I had a elbow fracture and a zugurtung was inserted its 2 months since the surgery? Hope that fiziotherapy will work? To straighten my arm since elbow is in a lock state.

Had my TBW surgery in May and couldn’t move my hand or arm after it without severe pain. Nearly 4 months later and I have around 90% motion back. Just need to be able to move my wrist a bit more and I’m done. Should be heading back to the gym in the next few months. Went a lot better than expected!

I remember I had to go surgery for just a broken elbow, gave me some disgusting strawberry-flavored sleeping gas and woke up in a fluffy bed with some IV water in my vein.
