Nurse Maid Elbow


Poor Ian had a hard day yesterday. We were in the Library and we were getting ready to leave and Ian was sitting in a chair next to one of the computers.  I grabbed one of his arms and directed him towards the door.  After he got in the car he was complaining the seat belt was too tight.  When I got him out of the car he was unable to use his left arm at all.  The way he was holding it, he looked like her had dislocated something. I took him to Emergency. They popped his elbow back into place and said that he had nurse maid syndrome where the radial head dislocates because the elbow is not mature yet.  It usually happens when the arm is being pulled.  I feel so badly about Ian's arm and the pain he was in. He is doing much better today, just sleeping a lot.
