So; slight mishap at work yesterday. Now I have small piece of metal (probably) stuck in my arm. Hospital wasn’t keen on removing it right away, will decide when specialists get to work today. Just looking for informed opinions at this stage.
Object entered high on the outside of the lower arm, traveled a few cms and ended up next to the bone in the upper arm.
Not really that painful now. Can use arm somewhat, hand is fine. Outside lower arm is numb. Can’t stretch my arm out completely.
My guess is that the piece like it’s positioned now isn’t the cause of restricted movement, it’a the tissue damage? What about tendons in the arena? As arm is somewhat functionable, are they most likely ok?
Obviously the composition of the object is a factor, but I’m working on that.
Inputs?
