What Is The Best Way To Heal Broken Arm?
What is the best way to elevate a healing broken arm, especially at night when sleeping? I had surgery on it about 2 and a half weeks ago (ORIF broken elbow) but over the past 2 days, my arm has been fairly swollen and noticeably darker due to all the blood there. I am a bit concerned and would appreciate some feedback. Thank you!
