Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.



May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way.
Cast of Plaster of Perris causes the compression symptoms like puffiness tingling and swelling as you said. It's all due to the sling that you feel uncomfortable at your shoulder girdle too. Inactivity isn't accepted by healthy body so easily. It will go away with time once the plaster is over.
take pain medicines and also multivitamin 1daily for one month with a effervescent calcium tablet 1daily too for 1month.


Regards!
