a.) Probing the ligament near lateral epicondyle of humerus.. radial nerve?
b.) Grip: make fist / outstretch
c.) Fendente / Montante (in both prima and terza) = Ulnar flexion / Radial flexion (in pronation 90deg and supination 90deg from horizontal)
c 1.) Wrist stretches (wrt arm horizontal as if resting palm down on a surface)
– flexion (downwards)
– extension (upwards)
– radial flexion (inwards)
– ulnar flexion (outwards)
Particularly, compound stretches: arm up, fingers stretched back (wrist extension) or forward (wrist extension), laterally rotated and stretched.
c 2.) Gentle and slow wrist dowel flexions
1×15 fendente+montante from prima, terza
1×10 with light resistance: fendente; montante, wrist in prima, terza
(Finish with 1×10 pronations+supinations 6o’clock to 3.30)

Progressing well, but not strong enough for cutting drills even for sabre using the Hanwei Hutton. (Cut 2 particularly taxing.)
Stick to sabre left-handed.
a.) Ligament probe: No pain, but deep dull ache.
b.) Grip: No pain, but not strong.
c.) Exercises working.
IRL easier to carry heavier loads with left arm.
Not a big problem; in fact preferring my left might promote some more natural ambidexterity. Which is nice.
IIRC – 2 years on, near normal functionality restored.
Self-rehabilitation successful!
3 years on: no trace of the impairment.
