Re: My Arm Won't Staighten!! HELP ME !!

I am now in 10th grade and I had an accident happen to me during my 8th grade year. I dislocated my elbow broke a bone in my elbow and broke a bone in my lower arm. I had a cast on for quite a while and i went to physical therapy for over a year. I had to wear this machine over night that straightened my arm over night, but my arm is still NOT STRAIGHT!! I don't know any other person that has a "non-straight" arm. Its affecting a lot of things in my life. I am a cheerleader and I absolutley love doing it but there is now certain things that i cannot do because if my injury. please help me and give me tips or something on what i can do.
