Limited Movement And Pain In Hand After Compound Open Fracture Of Elbow. Suggest For Healing
I need to get a second opinion on my injury. I suffered a compound open fracture of my left elbow last April. I work at the hospital here in Hereford, Texas and fell on the job. Emergency surgery was done that evening. I still have limited movement and pain at 2-3 all the time. It was a Workers Comp claim so I need to find an orthopedic surgeon who will accept WC.
