Why 6 weeks in a brace sling? i'm going crazy.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Six weeks: can feel like a long time but that's about how long your doc thinks it will take your your injury to heal. The brain has a wonderful way of adapting to changes in our body and you will soon be able to ignore to some degree the inconvenience of the sling. When you are healed you will be glad you cooperated. Peace and good health.
