Thanks Mary, At the moment it is driving me crazy, where I had to have some of the plaster cut away it keeps flaring up reddish and itchy up into the crease of the elbow and above on the inside part, then when I really get to thinking I'll have to see someone, it will die down, I've now resorted to putting some cream containing Aloe Vera and vitamins on it, at the moment it seems to be dying down again. I spend some time with the arm propped upon a pillow and a little cushion, as wearing the sling is really hard on the neck as well as the op scar on the front the top part seems swollen up again. I do lie down more than normal, and I do cook and wash up and other jobs, and so proud of myself that I cut up an onion took skin off and sliced it up small.
