Lisa, give it two weeks, then start strengthening with light activity. do wall climbs up the wall to stretch your shoulder out. use little to no weight with arm lifts and build your strength slowly

2009-09-20 Muscle Problems:

Kim, yes, do some strengthening and stretching and use the muscles properly to get them to work effectively and not have pain. change your diet, eat properly and make sure you get plently of electrolytes

2009-09-20 Pronator Quadratus:

Ed, even though on picture of the muscles, it seems as this is the only real wrist muscle, actually all the muscles of the forearm deal with wrist function. there is no way to just strengthen this

2009-09-17 Permanent Subluxation of Elbow:
