Broke my elbow day before yesterday. Went to hospital. Doc took 8mm blood( liquid) from elbow internsl bleeding .( With syringe)
they put a cast on me..... said i might need surgery.... Next day took my cast off ( after one dsy in cast 😮😮😮) now im in soft sling at home doing slow exercise they told me. Because they said if i dont move my elbow it will stay stiff .
