Radial Nerve Injury?

hello to all,

I am in my late 20's, and I was recently involved in a cycling accident where I broke my radius bone in my arm (near the elbow). After two months the bone is healing nicely, however the radial nerve is taking a lot longer to heal as I cannot point my fingers up or type on a keyboard. How long does it take for the nerve to recover. Would physical exercise help?

thanks for listening.

I would suggest speaking with a neurologist if you havent done so already....JMO

Sorry, but this forum is not for medical advice. Talk to your doctor.

Go see a Hand surgeon. You should probably be in a splint to help with extension. Radial nerve injuries often take several months to heal and sometimes require tendon transfers to effectively restore extension.
