You MUST REST the arms for 10-12 months. That is how long it truly takes to heal. Also, purchase one of those arm straps & keep it on. But don't give in to a false sense that you're healed.....meaning DO NOT use your arms like you don't have a problem, because each time you do.....you're back to step one in the healing process. This is an extremely frustrating condition & takes a long time to heal.I speak from experience. And it was bad! Even horses with this condition are given 10-12 months to heal! Give in to it. Good luck. Cat
