To address your elbow stiffness a year after injury, you should consult an orthopaedic surgeon (preferably an upper extremity specialist) and a physical therapist. Your treatment options include: 1. Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises, manual joint mobilisation, and using dynamic or static progressive splints to safely stretch the joint capsule. 2. Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen) to manage discomfort during active rehabilitation. 3. Advanced Treatments: If conservative therapies do not improve your range of motion, procedures like manipulation under anaesthesia or a minimally invasive arthroscopic capsular release can effectively free the joint. With specialised guidance, a significant improvement in your mobility is still highly achievable.
