In my memoir, Dear Baseball Gods, I share the story of my Tommy John surgeries and my comeback from each. Read it here: geni.us/dear-baseball-gods

Yes, to working with the opposite side for tone and to open propioceptive spinal /cerebral cortex pathways for reinforcement.

Also, thanks to both of for your insight. This will help other patients.

Thank you so much for doing this. I just had Tommy John surgery with an evulsion fracture removed and ulnar nerve transposition. I am 1 month out from surgery. Watching these videos are really giving me insight on what is to come, what I should ask, what I should expect, what I should and shouldn't do, and the road to getting back to pitching hopefully as good as before the injury. However, it is a little different having that nerve transposition I haven't regained feeling in my pinky finger yet. I was lucky to be able to go to one of the top surgeons in the country right in my back yard.

I'm about 13 weeks post op, and although I can definitely see the progress, I still have a weakness in flexor muscles across inner elbow. The pulling motion in general or resistance when in flexion is not comfortable. Is this cause for concern in regards to the graft?

[@sasda]

Coach Dan I heard flexion/extension range of motion exercise fresh off surgery is painful as hell. Is that true?

[@DanBlewett]

no.

[@sasda]

@@DanBlewett Thanks. Coach do you mind be more specific? Like flexion is painful but tolerable? Painful the first time then it tapers off? Stuff like that. Thank you in advance Coach.
