Someone describes therapy sessions for elbow and wrist pain. After the first session they had 4-5 hours pain-free, but it returned during a two-day gap. By the next visits, the painful area shrank from large to a small spot, and they stopped favoring their arm to avoid grip pain.

Uh, I— the first session, there were 4 or 5 hours after the fact where— and I had my elbow down through my wrist done, um, where the pain was gone. And then I had 2 days between the first therapy and the second where the discomfort that brought me in kind of started to revisit. Um, and then we just kind of keep, keep knocking it back. Um, I've been able to— Like, knock it back. The areas where it was this huge radial area of discomfort, It's getting smaller each time. So now it's like there's just this little spot. So we're definitely chasing it down, but the wrist feels better in lots of different ranges of motion. But also moving upstream has been good. So, you know, little compensations that I had put in place not knowing, uh, to deal with the discomfort in the grip, like slowing down when I was raising my arm or things like that, those have all started to decrease. Things are feeling much better, more accessible.
