Bad circulation
Bad circulation
I was swondering if anyone can help or direct me. I havent worn my sling for quite some time now but the blood rushes to my hand when its down to the point where it turns purple. I had the mod quad procedure last May and the surgery was unsuccessful. Do you know what kind of doctor I need or do you know of anyone with a similar situation that could direct me?
Re: Bad circulation
Tina, when i first stopped wearing my sling, i had the same problem with the blood flowing to my hand. It made me kind of nervous but after some time it will subside, even now it still happens occasionally. I talked to my Dr. about it and she said not to worry about it.I don't know what the mod quad procedure is, so i don't know if that could make it worse. I would ask your Dr. Good luck.

Re: Bad circulation
My PT had advised to carry a soft plyable ball type deal in my hand and to squeeze it from time to time to help keep the blood flowing back and forthh. I know that not everyone had hand function so this might not be of help.
