A member asked:
Will you need a sling for a shoulder sprain and if so how long will you need a sling for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder: It depends on severity of sprain and what was injured. Usually you stop using sling when there's no pain but should be combined with PT to preserve range of motion and avoid stiffness.
