I definetly second this. Maybe go see a Kinesiologist for an assessment and follow an active rehab program with mobility exercises, pnf stretching and such... it works wonders trust me...

Dhillon, a few exercises i definetly recommend as a part of the healing process, is wrist curls, bicep curls, supination wrist curls, grip strength exercises and I'd really recommend you get this http://www.how-2-tennis.com/grip-strength-training.html and do all of them with really light weights...

Secondly, one thing to take note is, unless the joint is really inflammed and you start getting a sharp piercing pain, I would stay away from the ice. When you think about it, inflammation is one of your body's natural processes just like how you would have a fever so icing is a nono unless it starts becoming chronic. Best thing to do is use a heat pack and doing some forearm circles to help with the blood flow.

My two cents as a rehab assistant
