I dislocated my elbow for the second time in my life yesterday but this time the ulna came out on on the anterior pulmonary side of my elbow. I think I said that right but at any rate the underside of the elbow on the back. The swelling in my arm had increased today and I was a little worried that there could be some internal bleeding or some other problem. I realized while reading this that I had just taken a shower and was moving my arm quite a bit. I had also been icing my elbow consistently for the past day but had not yet today. I just put some ice on it and it seems to be better. Thank you for this. Neat, well put, and very entertaining.

Aside from the scar, do you have any calcification of the bone near your elbow? My right elbow is visibly larger than my left these days. Mark – Glad that your recovery has gone well.

Just to give hope to anyone out there who has suffered an injury like this, that it can be overcome. Christmas 2009 I was out running and slipped on some ice, flew up in the air and landed heavily on my arm. Without going into detail, I suffered a 'terrible triad' - elbow dislocation with fracture of the coronoid head and the other one (in fact the bone was 'shattered' according to my surgeon), plus my bicep tendon ripped in two. Got myself to A+E and had it popped back in (gas and air only while they did this - of which I am quite proud!) then several X-rays and a CT scan. The prognosis was not good, I was operated on, three pins inserted and the tendon stitched back together. I was told to prepare for the worst. But within about three months of the operation, by sticking tightly to my physio programme I had astounded doctors with my progress and could pretty much straighten the arm. Now, seven months on, all is fine bar the tiniest loss of movement. And the large - quite impressive! - scar. Great blog about what is quite a rare, painful and complicated injury.
