Arm/Elbow injury

Basically i came off my bike last Thursday when riding home. The gears start clunking i looked down as the chain locked the back wheel and flew me over the handle bars. Some guy came over to help me he thought I’d really hurt myself as my neck/back smashed in to a metal barrier and i then landed with my right arm/elbow taking most of the impact.

 

My knee was a bit stiff but that’s cleared up now, however I can’t fully straighten my arm. I don’t think I’ve dislocated my elbow as it's not painful enough. I can straighten about 70/80% of the way and then it won’t go any further, like it's locked.

 

I'm not living in England right now and due to my status here I can't just go to the doctors/hospital. Has anyone else suffered this kind of injury, how long should i expect to wait before i have full motion again?

As long as it can reach the todga for a shufty I wouldn't worry about regaining full flexibility.

Fugitive from justice or something? :wub:

Nothing that exciting, unfortunatly.

 

Moved with my better half to Slovenia. Despite it been part of the EU, I’m stuck in some chicken-egg situation, whereas i can't get health insurance till i get a citizens card, however i can’t get a citizens card till i have health insurance.

 

I was impressed/surprised they make anyone wanting to move here, write a short essay on why they love slovenia and want to live here, oh and it has to be in slovenian. :blush:
