Due to several torn ligaments the woman lost use of her arm.
I tore a ligament.
Yes. Walking, running, or any weight bearing at all could make it worse and maybe chronic. See your doctor and use crutches to stay off it.
The R.I.C.E method. No, not rice! Rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Don't use your sprain unless you have to. Put some ice on it, it'll feel better n no time. Compress the sprain by wrapping it in an elastic bandage. This will help support it, so it doesn't move and put more strain on the sprain. Elevate it on a cushion or pillow, as to keep the sprain above the patient's heart if at all possible. And by the way, a torn ligament and a sprain are the same thing! So, hopefully this will help with your torn ligament (sprain). while i agree with most of the above answer, the statement about a sprain and a torn ligament being the same are not. it depends on the severity of the sprain. a grade 1 sprain may have overstretched the ligament where a grade 2 has actually torn the ligament so that part is inaccurate. just thought i would add that extra information since i recently suffered a grade 3 strain (torn ligament) that required surgery!
The guy left the hospital in a wheelchair.

I was recently released from a major hospital from major back surgery I aws asked by nurse if I could walk and I said yes and she let me walk out of the hospital without a wheelchair. Is that legal?
It is best to use steel for a wheelchair ramp. It would also be ok to use wood if available.

When the are of the injury is inflamed, you should put ice. Follow the RICE method, REST, ICE, COMPRESS and ELEVATE. Once swelling has subsided (about 5 days), you can start to use heat to promote blood flow and improve healing.
