Has anyone found that putting your symptomatic arm in a sling to elevate the shoulder a bit has helped with pain and nerve pain? I'm debating whether or not to bring this up with my doctor...but I feel like it would help since sometimes my arm feels like it's being pulled out of its socket :/
Thoughts? Thanks!! |

I prop my arm up on pillows, books, the car window sill, etc. It has helped immensely with circulation and pain. I have not tried a sling. I did use a sling once on the other arm for a shoulder problem a couple years ago and found that it made my arm stiff.

NO sling however because the pressure near the collarbone causes other probs. Do what works for you. |
