Should I elevate after surgery?
Elevation may be helpful with swelling but frankly the extremity is going to swell no matter what position it is...
You may remove your sling to re-adjust the straps. Become familiar with how the sling works. Please remove the sling for showers and move the elbow to prevent stiffness. Additionally, it is recommended to take breaks from the sling when you are stationary.
If you need a neck pad for the neck strap, an automotive seatbelt pad, is an excellent solution.
