Took mine a long time to heal (most/all of the season); very limited use and a lot of physical therapy (well, a lot I SHOULD have done). Try to keep it built up now, but still feel twinges now and then. Squeezing a tennis ball and curling the wrist up, with arm out straight, seems to eventually do the job of bringing it back. Hurt like heck early on; definitely need to work up slowly. Give the sheet to the crew :-)
