What Precautions Should I Take After My Elbow Surgery?
I had surgery on my elbow in February, I was given a few moves for rehabilitation post operation, but haven't been to a physical therapist since. I do swim, and I'm achieving a great degree of range of motion - my question is this, am I at risk of anything relating to scar tissue or some other kind of unknown that I should be aware of post surgery? Its been six months. Just curious.

early mobilization and regular motion of the joint with a constant touch to a physiotherapist is the key here. Avoid strenuous work and do as directed by your doctor to be on the safer road.Rest and exercise with constant motion range is the key here.
