I broke my right(dominant) upper arm into 3 pieces 2 years ago. It was very close to my elbow. I had to have surgery to put in 2 metal plates and 18 screws. Following the surgery i had severe nerve damage. My ulnar and radial nerves were 90 something % ineffective. It took 9 months for me to regain any movement in my wrist or fingers but once i had the first flicker of movement at 9 months i had regained full movement within a few weeks from then. It took another 4-6 months to strengthen it to feel almost as strong as my left arm. Now 2 years after the accident im experiencing pain in my elbow. It actually feels like the metal is hurting. I am exercisin and when i lift weight it feels like thr metal is going to pop off my bone under the pressure. Should i consider getting the plates removed?
