Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I was just wondering. You see I have a fractured elbow my doctor said it was just a small fracture, which I believe is just a crack in one of the bones... He gave me a sling to wear that I have worn for three days, but then my uncle who is a retired doctor said that I need to take it off to exercise the arm so it ll heal to not wear the sling too much or it ll keep your arm still in one place . And I m just curious of what would happen if I just keep taking the sling off and putting it on over and over.
Hello. No real problem here--the sling is more for comfort than actually treating the fracture. If it isn't helping with the pain, you really don't need it at all
