Hi, Just looking for general advice here? I was playing tennis (hitting very hard with male friend) on Tuesday and I hit a forehand and felt sharp pain in the middle of my forearm. I couldn’t continue playing even though I tried for 5 minutes. Went to an urgent care, they x-rayed it. Dr said no obvious break but possible small fracture or torn tendon. They gave me a kind of arm immobilising sling to wear and made appointment for orthopaedic consultant. The thing is, do I still need to wear the sling till the appt in 9 days? When my arm is at rest the pain is minimal, when I take it off it’s ok as long as I don’t make certain movements. I find it really constricting to have on all day, Not to mention slowing me down getting things done at work and at home. I can’t seem to get in touch with the Dr in the clinic as they are very busy. What I want to know is do they intend me to keep it on as they think I could do more damage if I leave it off or is it just to keep my arm from feeling more sore if I move it too much???
