Breaking an arm can be a painful and traumatic experience. However, it's important to remember that broken bones can be treated and healed with proper medical care. On this page, we've compiled everything you need to know about broken arms, from causes and symptoms to treatment and recovery.
Broken arms can occur due to a variety of reasons, including falls, sports injuries, car accidents, and physical assault. In some cases, people may have weakened bones due to conditions such as osteoporosis or cancer, which can increase their risk of breaking a bone.
The symptoms of a broken arm may include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected arm. In some cases, the bone may even be visible through the skin.
If you suspect you have broken your arm, seek medical attention right away. Your doctor may order an X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of the fracture. Treatment options may include a cast or brace to immobilize the arm, pain medication, and physical therapy to help restore mobility.
Recovery from a broken arm can take anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on the severity of the fracture. During this time, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions for care and to attend any follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
While breaking an arm can be a difficult experience, with proper medical care and attention, you can recover and regain full use of your arm. If you suspect you have a broken arm, don't delay in seeking medical attention. Remember, early treatment can help speed up your recovery time and minimize any long-term complications.
Recovering from a broken arm can be a challenging experience, but it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your comfort. Our side opening t-shirts are the perfect way to stay comfortable while you heal.

"Absolutely fantastic...had shoulder surgery 3 weeks ago, and being able to wear a "normal" top is fantastic, rather than the fashion equivalent of a sack. I have a side-opening t-shirt. Sizing recommendations are spot on, I'm normally a Small, got a Medium and it's a good, comfortable fit. Quality is excellent. I can confirm you can dress yourself without any need for the injured arm to go more than 2-3 inches away from the torso."
"I found these T-shirts to be ideal for me as I had broken an dislocated my upper right arm. These T-shirts enabled me to get dressed in my own and went some way to help me get back on track. Can’t recommend them enough"
"I wish my 89-year-old mother in law hadn't broken her arm and didn't need these at all. However, these t-shirts are such a good idea - such a help when dressing and means she doesn't have to keep her arm inside her top and so can remove her sling occasionally to exercise her elbow and wrist as she's been advised to by the hospital consultant."
