A member asked:
Is it possible to move your arm after arthroscopic elbow surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Not only can you, but usually you're encouraged to move it early and often after surgery. Ice is helpful to reduce swelling. Anti-inflammatories are also usually encouraged, like Ibuprofen or naproxen. Confirm with your surgeon.
