Ouch! Meantime I suggest, painkillers so you don't make it worse by holding your arm stiff, plus alternating ice and heat, plus gentle movements.

Are you already seeing a Physiotherapist..? If not I'd go with one of them first, before the orthopedic surgeon... 'cos the clue is in the name "surgeon"... guess what they love to do..? OK as a last resort, but the physio will try and help you heal without cutting if at all possible.

Moreover, the less carbohydrates in their diets, the greater their weight loss, even though all her subjects were eating equivalent amounts of calories and protein" - Gary Taubes, describing research by Margaret Ohlson
