Reply to "TJ rehab"

So my son is one month post op and he had a follow up yesterday. As I was concerned about, they are happy with his extension but not his progress with flexion. He can only get it to barely 90 degrees. He said it’s tight and feels like he hits a wall and it will not bend further. He’s switching PT’s in a week to someone they prefer more than the one he’s at now and is closer to school.  (That was the plan anyway) They don’t want him in the brace anymore except if he’s in a crowd or working with the kids at the baseball facility.  They’ve also prescribed an anti inflammatory. He has to return to the surgeon in 3 weeks, and they want him to be able to touch his wrist to his shoulder by then. They’ve ordered a brace that he will have to wear for 20 minutes at a time throughout the day every few hours that will keep his arm in a bent position at certain degrees. That is getting delivered to the house today or tomorrow. Anyone have a similar experience? Opinions? Advice?Thanks.
