Should you start doing physiotherapy even if you haven't seen an orthopedic specialist?
Oh i just wanted to add a side-note to my question. I am a 16 year old male, and I've dislocated my left elbow about 11 days ago, and I've been issued a sling to wear for approximately 2 weeks from my doctor. I don't know the extent of my elbow damage, but I do know that I had to be knocked out in order for them to reduce my elbow. So what I'm wondering is that (its been 11 days since my elbow reduction. i went to the ER to get it reduced.) is it safe for me to start physiotherapy on my left elbow even if I haven't seen an orthopedic specialist?
