Re: Can't move arm??
Did you try to move it? Did she have her full ROM? Any pain?
Could be she slept on it and it fell asleep, does she has full feeling in her arm?

Not sure about full ROM?
No I didn't move it, it felt stiff, her feeling in the arm go from full feeling to about half feel something.
I just thought it was odd and wanted to check. She is fine now, just dealing with soreness from over use at school. get numbnees then.
