The nurse in me loves how you made mom comfortable. The mom in me loves that you told her could happen again and that it's common. I'm sure she felt terrible and you eased that feeling. Great video as always! ❤
Thank you so much... this video really helped me tonight... worked really well. I was scared at first but i summoned courage and gave it a try...Being a parent requires boldness....God bless every true parent out there.
@@lmellick your welcome, however the thanks should be for you. As I'm sure you know many times we in the healthcare field can jump to the wrong conclusion when it comes to this particular type of childhood injury. You hit it out of the park when you allowed mom to tell her story and then validated that story with very clear explanation of how and why it happens. Keep up your excellent way of educating everyone.
I watched the video a few times before taking the courage to it on my 19 month old. She was in pain and didn't move her right arm. I had to grab her elbow 2 o 3 times to gear the click. And then she started moving her arm and I bathed her. Thanks for sharing .
Thank you so much! This video saved the day it worked like magic and I felt a pop with each method! My 20 month old son would not move his arm and was in pain. After exactly a minute he was moving it perfectly. Saved me a trip to the emergency room! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for this very helpful video. Same thing happened to our son and we just followed the steps on the video and it worked wonders. Saved us a trip to the ER!❤
My son had this twice while he as a baby. Dr had us hold his elbow in my palm, turn his hand around, palm open and push back towards his body. Something to that effect. Been 18 years now but it worked both times. He was in so much pain you couldn't even touch his arm.
Same thing here, my middle daughter had it happen. Took her to ER and the Dr told me the same thing. Showed me how to pop it back in place. And told me to get used to it, because she had a classic case. And I would be making a lot of ER Visits if I didn't learn how to pop it back in. Bless her heart I hated doing it. But I got it done.
This definitely works! It’s currently 3:30am and I had to relieve my 3 year old of this. She had it before at 18 months when she was trying to run towards the street. The doctors told us it could easily happen again and it did in the middle of the night. She and her brother crawled into bed and were taking over our bed. I went to shift her and couldn’t find her arm. So in a panic I reach for her arm with a slight pull and heard the pop followed by her cries. She’s all better with range of motion watching Encanto! Thank you Doc!
Thank You this video was very helpful it’s happened for as second time first when my son was 1 year wish I didn’t see the video back than same thing happened today and we fix it
I have been suffering from Doctor's Syndrome. I actually had a slight bacterial infection that caused fever which made me very anxious and I was self diagnosing myself improperly thinking I got COVID. It tortured me for a whole month. Seeing every condition in hospital just makes you on edge. Doctors need someone to help them into reality sometimes. Just sharing
Dr. Alissa C. Blair- Campbellsville University College of Chiropractic Dr. Larry is a great example for our students of patient care :) I love using his videos and examples in class. He does such a great job with patients and connects well with them
Just did the second Option it worked on my 2 year old. Was about to go to ER but I did the technique and I felt the pop. 2 minutes later she is using the arm
What a well behaved baby! I've seen kids his age come in for sore throats and they shriek at the sight of staff lol. And then he stopped crying so quickly.
Interesting how the name of this condition is called in English. In Dutch language we call it a sunday arm because people walk at sundays with the family and children holding the hand of parents.
My child one time I was sitting on the floor and he leaned his chest into my back and put his arms around me I grabbed his arms and lean forward pulling them up I thought I broke his arm the doctor did just what this one did you fixed it and said if they get it once they'll get it more times so I think he had it two more times and we were able to fix it ourselves which is awesome I think I get a nerve-pinched in between in my elbows I'm going to try this and see if it works for me
Sure do. Work harder than anyone else in school. Get involved in humanitarian activities serving others. Stay well rounded and healthy emotionally and spiritually. Have a life...hobbies, music, exercise, etc. They are looking for well-rounded emotionally healthy people who are not "cookie cutter" people. Hope this helps.
Omg my son had this nt 2 long ago jus from sleepn on his arm wrong..doc did the same exact process however previous from that i had never heard such a thing
Awww! It's always so sad because the parents feel they've done something so awful to their child when it's truly so common and doesn't even take much force for it to happen. I knew someone who was swinging his child in a circle by his wrists and this happened. I thought he'd NEVER forgive himself and it was nothing but an accident.
I gotta tell you Doc, after watching this I asked my charge nurse and she told me we don't have any popsicles in our department so I went out and got some for the occasional pedo or even adult patients, I ended up giving a few out just today! This is why I love your videos so much, I've learned a great deal from you without ever even meeting you, thank you for putting the time and effort to make these
I just cut the end of those icy pops off with scissors and them wash off the scissors after. Then if you squeeze from the very bottom it slides up enough for them to eat.
And always teach mom and dad how to do the nursemaid's elbow procedure. Have them repeat the procedure in front of since this all may very well happen again.
Absolutely! This happened to my son when he was two. My daughter was four at the time and yanked him out of their playhouse by his left hand. I was sure it was nursemaid's elbow but didn't know how to reduce it. We lived out in the boonies so it was a forty five minute ride to the ER. Fortunately, I watched what the Dr did. A couple weeks later, we were at an amusement park. My son was in a ball pit and my mother lifted him out by his hands from above. Couldn't yell out fas t enough not to do that. My son cried and my mother felt horrible. But I remembered the simple moves and popped it right back in. He went right back to playing! No parent should feel bad about this. It's common and nobody's fault.
@@lmellickwhen i was picking her up the arm was little bent opposite where her shot was given and from then she is crying when her elbow is touched and there is little swelling so i was guessing
My son fell off the sofa on his left shoulder when I picked him up crying I took him to the emergency room They said there is no fracture and they only put that bandage on him but he doesn't want to leave it I tried to open it for him a little but when he moved his hand he got sick What does that mean thanks
@@lmellick Hello doctor, I went to a doctor’s appointment for my son and he said that there is a slight fracture in the shoulder, but that does not pose any danger, but when I touch that place, it is as if there is a disc and the doctor said that it will disappear with time. Is this true, frankly, I am a little nervous
That's scary the way they couldn't open the popsicle. Easy, just cut top off with scissors. Don't put all those fingers over something to go in a baby's mouth.
That is not good advice. What you’re saying is that you should leave the child in pain and hope that it will correct itself. How do you know that the child will actually do that?
@@lmellick actually i was told this as well, in children under 4 its not uncommong they will fix it during there sleep. During the day they wont move their arm but at night they will roll and twist the arm back in. She didnt actually recommend this, it was more just talk about the subject. Obviously we didn't wait since we were already at the clinic.
As I'm sure this happens for this reason, it can happen for others as well. I pulled my child elbow at 2.5 years just having him sit up to change his shirt. Best not to make assumptions.
The nurse in me loves how you made mom comfortable. The mom in me loves that you told her could happen again and that it's common. I'm sure she felt terrible and you eased that feeling. Great video as always! ❤
Thank you. Mom was also a nurse and very cool about things.
@@lmellick thats awesome! ❤ I'm so glad that people are so cooperative in allowing you to video. Such a great learning tool.😊
I used to work in a pediatric clinic. This was one of the more common things we saw. Cute mom and baby.
I'm personally a fan of the bubble test. Few kids will ever resist the opportunity to pop bubbles with both hands
I like that!
I swear you are the best teaching doctor around! Glad that little one feels better!
Wow, thank you!
Larry Mellick ....No thanks needed. We should be thanking you. I’ve watched you for years and I’ve learned so much from your videos.
I just corrected my one year old daughter's elbow using this technique. Thank You for the perfect procedure.
You are welcome!!
Trying to focus on this for class, but too distracted by how cute the baby is! ❤️
Thank you so much... this video really helped me tonight... worked really well. I was scared at first but i summoned courage and gave it a try...Being a parent requires boldness....God bless every true parent out there.
Poor baby. I am glad he was doing better almost immediately. Sweet little guy 💙
Well done doc. Loved the teaching moment not just for mom but for residents in the room also. Explained without blame love it
Thanks!

I did this to my 3 yrs old daughter, thank you so much Doc! Godbless you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video, very helpful
What an adorable little man
No matter how many times I see this reduction, I love the 'oh hey let me grab (whatever I want with my bad hand)'. It's so rewarding to see.

Great to hear!

Cute baby & so calm w/ it, others would be crying their heads off
It's very painful
What a CUTE lil guy!!!!
Wonderful videos ...love them all ... It actually helped me reduce one in inspite me being an ENT surgeon.😁
Very nice!
First time I heard about nursemaids elbow. Thanks dr
You are welcome.
Thank you! Just fixed my 2 year old's arm!
Nice!
Wow the baby was so calm
Nice, thx very much doc!

Thank you, Dr. Blair. That is a huge compliment!
My trick is to get the kid back to play room/waiting area for them to play. Works great and reassures mum as well as the clinician who reduced it.
Just did the second Option it worked on my 2 year old. Was about to go to ER but I did the technique and I felt the pop. 2 minutes later she is using the arm
Dr. Mellick stays coming with the heat.
Great learning video!
Thank you 🤗
Haven’t you lot heard of scissors to open stuff, eg popsicles,
"Takes two doctors to open a popsicle" 😂
This is what your trauma shears are for.
What a well behaved baby! I've seen kids his age come in for sore throats and they shriek at the sight of staff lol. And then he stopped crying so quickly.
Thanks Doc, The 2nd option worked
Glad it helped
Interesting how the name of this condition is called in English. In Dutch language we call it a sunday arm because people walk at sundays with the family and children holding the hand of parents.
Loving these etymological differences!!!
thank you
It sure must be great working with you
I truly hope so. Thanks!
Love the one mate offering the phone 🤣🤣
Nobody had shears to cut that open?
My child one time I was sitting on the floor and he leaned his chest into my back and put his arms around me I grabbed his arms and lean forward pulling them up I thought I broke his arm the doctor did just what this one did you fixed it and said if they get it once they'll get it more times so I think he had it two more times and we were able to fix it ourselves which is awesome I think I get a nerve-pinched in between in my elbows I'm going to try this and see if it works for me
Cute baby boy.
nice and refreshing to watch
Thanks for this teaching
Video.
You are welcome!!
Hi Dr. Mellick, this was an excellent video! Do you have any tips for medicine hopeful students in undergrad?
Sure do. Work harder than anyone else in school. Get involved in humanitarian activities serving others. Stay well rounded and healthy emotionally and spiritually. Have a life...hobbies, music, exercise, etc. They are looking for well-rounded emotionally healthy people who are not "cookie cutter" people. Hope this helps.
@@lmellick Thank you!

I agree.
Aww sweet baby
Thanks to God for the Doctors ...
Perfect! I thought I did it wrong but I brought out a pop and she grabbed it with the elbow arm. 500 dollar quick care visit avoided!
Great! You nailed it!
The only question that remains here is who ended up having the popsicle?
I think mom did. However, I don't have perfect follow-up information!
I gotta tell you Doc, after watching this I asked my charge nurse and she told me we don't have any popsicles in our department so I went out and got some for the occasional pedo or even adult patients, I ended up giving a few out just today!

So sweet
First!! Thanks dr. mellick! :)
Great job! You are super fast!
Opening the difficult popsicle wrapper PEARL!
Any chance you have come across thymus glands in adults? I’m 26 and still have mine. Got a scan done but never followed up.
Cleo Alvaro that mean you are no adult kid
giri praveen what?
I read that you should also add traction to the arm while supinating. Is that true?
I don't teach that, but it probably wouldn't hurt.
@@lmellick Thank you!
I just cut the end of those icy pops off with scissors and them wash off the scissors after. Then if you squeeze from the very bottom it slides up enough for them to eat.
Awwwwwwww ❤️
Awe adorable kid. Big baby cheeks!
My son had nursemaids. The doctor did same movement and my son was back to normal with a popsicle…
Poor mom!
And always teach mom and dad how to do the nursemaid's elbow procedure. Have them repeat the procedure in front of since this all may very well happen again.

Doc can 4 month old suffer from nursemaid...
It's technically possible, but I would be highly suspicious for non-accidental trauma.

Something seems wrong. Get another opinion. Clavicle injuries occur that way and so do Supracondylar fractures.

@@amenjoujmalika3891 Clavicle fractures tend to resolve on there own in children.
J
I usually tear them open with my teeth. Nowadays I'd get tarred and feathered!!
Hahaha! Same here!
For sure or at least dirty looks from your head nurse.
That's scary the way they couldn't open the popsicle. Easy, just cut top off with scissors. Don't put all those fingers over something to go in a baby's mouth.
Poor child they think she did it I think she did
Actually you can just leave it as it is. Our prof told us it might actually fix itself when child sleeps and rolls over
That is not good advice. What you’re saying is that you should leave the child in pain and hope that it will correct itself. How do you know that the child will actually do that?
@@lmellick i think he forgot to mention to sprinkle some essential oils on it as well
@@KFire say 15 hail marys and an angel will come down and kiss it better lol

The other thing that works well
Is don't pull your child's because you're upset or frustrated
As I'm sure this happens for this reason, it can happen for others as well. I pulled my child elbow at 2.5 years just having him sit up to change his shirt. Best not to make assumptions.
@robkwit I didn't say that was why this happened
I just was adding some advice.
It can happen during play too
No pacifier when my boys were that big.
Good for you.
