A really long time! Anatomy lesson #2: The radial nerve grows about an inch a month. The physical therapist is saying that her experience tells her that it will be about 8 months for the radial nerve to recover. 8 months! Ugh. Of course my first question to her was, "Does this mean I will wear the contraption for 8 months?" Yep. I guess I already knew that answer. Quite honestly, the arm feels best when in the dynamic splint - it's just ugly! More importantly, it draws a LOT of attention and I'm really kind of tired of explaining what I did to my arm. I broke my arm. Really bad. Why can't that be enough?
