Funny thing is, I can find that exercise on YouTube anymore and it's not one of the usual ones.
I'll try to discribe it if it helps someone else:
It's basically a biceps curl in reverse. Load a dumbbell with a bit more than you would for a biceps exercise, hold it in your injured hand but use the free hand to lift the weight. Then lower the weight using just your injured arm in about 12 second. Once the arm is fully extended, hold for about 3 more seconds.
Repeat about 5 times.

This really helped and I'll try to find a video of it.
All the best with the recovery.
I can't envisage the exercise. Could you possibly film yourself doing it and upload it to this forum?

Thanks. I’ll try that. Mine was about better but I did some heavy lifting while building a stone wall and it’s back.

So the 'turn hand over and repeat' means the forearm is in a vertical position and moved
closer towards you?

No, it’s horizontal and you curl your hand upwards

Trying to visualise your instructions.
* When the forearm is horizontal with the hand holding the weight,
* curl the forearm upwards (until it is vertical),
* turn the hand 180°
* then lower the forearm (until it is is horizontal)?

No, curl the hand. Keep the forearm horizontal (extended). Start with minimal eight as it is hard and will hurt if you have too much weight.
