Physiotherapy, Part 3

The last physiotherapy session for the week was particularly painful. After the usual hot compress and electrical stimulation, the therapist started in on my arm focusing on wrist movement. This really hurt... my arm is still sensitive to twisting so there's considerable pain when twisting to the palm up position. There seems to be no stiffness in the movement, but there's a lot of pain. We also worked on arm extension and I think it improved by about 5 degrees. My arm feels almost straight; I estimate the degree of extension at about 160 degrees.

My arm and shoulder were sore for quite  a while after the session. At least I can rest for a few days before the start of more sessions next week.
