I am sure the recovery rate has a lot of variables, therefore, without knowing the complications and history of your elbow problem makes it very difficult for anyone to give you a valid answer. Furthermore, this type of question should be asked of a surgeon rather than a chiropractor who has nothing to do with medications or surgery.

The time line for recovery is dependent on the surgical procedure. I would ask your surgeon for a more definitive answer.

That depends on you and the particular surgery. Ask your MD and PT - they can give you better answers.

Thank you for your question, Elbow surgery recovery timeline depends on the type of surgery being done. Ulnar nerve relocation or extensor tendinopathy - 6ish weeks. Elbow replacement - waaay longer. Good luck!
