  though they need to be in a sling.

  Not true, my son got nurse maid’s elbow. He was crying almost non-stop for 5 hours between it happening to the doctor walking into the doctor’s room. The instant the doctor manipulated his arm he stopped crying and it was like nothing happened.

    Typically, the sling is to reduce the chance of repeat injury, not for pain.

      Well according to the doc that’s not a concern unless the same force is applied again.

        I’ve taken care of too many toddlers, I guess to trust that.

        But I have taken care of too many toddlers to trust that they keep it on consistently, as well.
