Nursemaids Elbow Reduction Techniques

[@Illycrium]

My 3 year old just got this. I just had to turn her hand palm up and heard it pop back into place. Saved me a visit to the ER, thank you so much.

Occasionally an adult will get a nursemaid's elbow, but it is extremely rare.

My son had that at 3 yr old. Had fallen on it. They popped it right in

My daughter hurt her arm we went to ae uk and after an xray told me she is fine to go home. Next day i got a fever so i couldnt go and arm was put ina sling to rest they said. Day 4 and she was not moving her arm so i went back and they said it was a pulled elbow she did the procedure and sent us home but my daughter is in a lot of pain and she cant move her arm. So again i have to call thr doctor to see if they will see her but i panic, is the procedure too late and does she have damage now

[@lmellick]

Is there any possible trauma? She might need an x-ray, if so. Ibuprofen for pain around the clock. If no history of trauma, you can do this procedure yourself. If delayed, it may be harder to put back in place. The sooner the better. Good luck.

@@lmellick we did go for an x-ray on day one they reported she was ok and she must just be upset and not moving her arm. The fall was just her hoping around the sofa and she fell into the table edge on her elbow. X-ray showed no fractures. Elbow is not red or swollen but she's In pain and I have a feeling it did not lock back in. Back to doctor today. Shame on the first day they assumed wrong
