What Is The Reason For Swelling In Hands After Removing Sling Placed Due To Shoulder Fracture?
Evening. My husband fractured his shoulder a month ago and has been told to take his arm out of the sling now and start gentle exercise. This happened yesterday and he is now finding his hand is swelling badly. Do you have any suggestions. We don't want to burden his doctor at this point unless serious
