The individual is also educated about the condition to prevent it from becoming worse. Whilst the arm is immobilised you would still be required to move your elbow, wrist and fingers to prevent any stiffness from setting in. 

Items such as the hand therapy balls or therapeutic putty are quite helpful to maintain forearm strength whilst your affected arm is in the sling.

My mum has had an incredible impact in shaping me, even in ways I still try to understand today.

My mum’s story mirrors those of many young women from the Indian subcontinent who came to the country in the 1970s. 

She came to the United States as a 21-year-old, freshly married to my dad (who already lived in the country). Within two years, she had me.

Her creativity made her a prolific artist and she could draw and paint things from memory. My uncle likes to tell the story of how, when my mother was pregnant with me, she would sketch pictures of babies.
