A member asked:

What can i do about tingling in finger/hand after arm fracture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tingling finger: If this is a new finding since treatment, you should speak with your surgeon immediately. If this occurred some time ago, namely at the same time as injury, your surgeon will be able to give you a timeframe for recovery. Elevation for swelling, proper nutrition, and patience will likely be important.
