How Is Acute Shoulder Injury Treated?
What can you do after a shoulder injury and your lower arm is swelling (and your hand)? My arm is in a sling with a orthotic to keep my shoulder stabilized. I am 90 years old, in a transitional care unit- I have a 1-2 fracture below my humoral head. I am getting differing ideas of what to do.
