A member asked:
Stabbing pain in left upper arm. hurts to move. should i use a sling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder pain: I recommend you avoid use of a sling for shoulder pain. A sling promotes stiffness, which in and of itself can lead to increased pain. Try ice, nsaids, and maintain flexibility. If no improvement in a couple of weeks, consult with an orthopedic surgeon. Good luck!
