What Is The Treatment For Humerus Fracture?

I fractured the upper right humerus and I am now in physical therapy. I have noticed that when I wake up in the morning my cephalic vein is very blue and prominent. The biceps is sore but I expect that from therapy. After I move around the vein calms down. Is this normal and related to a traumatic injury?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem.
Venous congestion leads to prominence of cephalic vein.

Medication like methylcobalamine will help.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.

Hope this helps. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Take care
