Suggestions for keeping a bandage in place

4 Comments

I had surgery yesterday to have a pinched nerve released from my elbow and moved to another place as i had no muscle control in my left arm and hand. Surgery went well and i was able to come home last night with pain killers and my arm/elbow all bandaged up. I have a cut about 8cm long and I have to keep the bandage and padding on it for 2 weeks when i go back to have stitches removed. The bandage needs to sit about 8cm above my elbow and about 4cm below. The problem i am having is without it being to tight as i move it is sliding down all the time as extend my arm and rubbing on my wound. Has anyone got any suggestions on a way of keeping it in place please as this quite painful?

Sorry, I’m not to good at this sort of thing.

Paper tape at the top and bottom might help you

Did you contact the doctor or hospital for advice about the bandage? I hope your wound didn’t get irritated or infected.
