Doctor in the House Arm Sling - EZ Sling, No Neck Strap Shoulder Abduction & Immobilizer, Fractures, Stroke, Rotator Cuff/Shoulder Injury, Surgery, Comfortable-Easy Men/Women Right/Left

It takes a while to figure out but once you do it’s fantastic. Recovering from rotator cuff surgery. The strap on my sling was actually causing nerve pain in my other shoulder and hiking my blood pressure by about 30 mm because I was being strangled. This immobilizes the arm as well as the sling without the pain of the sling. Highly recommended.

It took most of the pressure off the shoulder but the loops were not ergonomically placed

It's a really great idea. But it's very bulky. I found ysung a traditional sling with wrap around stabilization with enuf room to add any padding needed (small pillow or stuffing). Still my problem was cervical disc related causing severe arm pain. As an RN, BSN I am sure this sling could be very useful!

Fits oddly... uncomfortable

I broke my collarbone on Jan 6. Worst pain ever and my first broken bone ever. But the sling I was given made the situation 10 times worse. I have nerve issues and having been a patient of Dr Fried years ago for a wrist surgery I had forgotten about this GENIUS product he developed. It dawned on me a few days ago as I was in agony with nerve pain due to the sling and the pressure on my neck. I am so thankful I could get this on Amazon! If Dr Fried wasn't so far for me he'd be my Dr for this injury too. He's amazing at what he does. I am wearing this now as I got it today and my mood is already 100% better. I cloud not image going another 5 weeks in that hospital sling.Thanks Dr for this ez sling!By the way...if you think it is too bulky just remove some of the foam inside. I am crafty and adjusted the insert to fit my tiny frame.

The EZ Sling was the best sling I found. With a fractured and sprained elbow, I tried various traditional slings and a brace with little support and zero comfort.I needed support, comfort, and relief from my shoulder. I was also fearful of having a frozen shoulder.The EZ Sling provided everything I needed and made the recovery process far better than the alternatives. Highly recommend.

This is actually a brilliant idea but I found it pretty confusing to put on. First I took it all apart and removed all the contents of the zippered pouch with great difficulty so I was ready to put it together. This was the wrong approach. Just try to put it on following the diagrams included and the arrows printed on the straps. (Some pieces, I never figured what they are for). Once you have it on, you will find it is quite comfortable but rather unattractive as there are various loose and dangling straps. That's just how it is.

I used this arm shelf for my x rays and rehab, since I had to take my arm out of the sling. Perfect!
