Hand and arm swelling. Please help
Posted: Sun May 07, 2006 8:15 pm
Hello, I just got back from Mayo after having my cast taken off. I had the full "Mayo special" done (C 7 graft, muscle transfer and intercostal nerve rerouting). When I got home I noticed that my hand and arm were swollen, more so then normal. It's been two days and the swelling hasn't gone down. Has anyone else had this happen? any suggestions on how to reduce the swelling? (other then elevating it) does the swelling get better with time? any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
