tj's surgery

Tj had some refractory elbow pain that stuck around for almost a year! After physical therapy, chiropractic intervention, ice, compression, and rest didn't work we knew something more had to be done. He got an MRI that showed a cartilage defect, as well as a buildup of Plica in the joint. Still a mystery how this happened.
The pain was really really bad, both at rest and with exertion, so we opted for surgery. His surgery was on June 27. Everything went well and he is healing great. Hopefully it takes care of the pain and discomfort. Last night was the first night in almost a year that he did not have to take ibuprofen or tylenol to sleep. Amazing.
