I had it in 1981. In fact I had a combo >>> torn tendons, and epicondolitus. They gave me a 50/50 chance of full recovery, and it came out of it 100%. I was cast for 11 days, and if my memory serves me right it was a couple of months before I had any strength built back up. For therapy I shot a lot of pool to start with, then graduated to splitting wood. I have a heck of a scar on my right elbow, but I can do anything now without having any pain. Good luck to you for a quick recovery.
