Notes on fractured upper arm

Mario, are you a bit inactive because of the fracture. ie not moving around so much? or just sitting doing nothing? If you are, its the inactivity to cause your feet to swell. Walk about as much as possible...not too much sitting. If you are sitting a lot try to raise your feet at least as high as your knees.
If the swelling becomes excessive or worrying then do see your doctor.
