On the sling, make sure they get you one that has a cuff around the good side shoulder, not just the strap that will surely just cut into your neck.

I didn't fit their usual "universal" size cuffed sling cuz I'm a fatass with a 52" chest, so they got a large and it had the strap of death. I couldn't tolerate it after the first few days so ordered another with extra straps similar to the cuff but that sling had zero ventilation on the arm support part so I cobbled to two together.

They were all the DonJoy / DJO brand.

Office item that didn't fit but probably the best option:




Item they ordered for me that made me want to eat a pew - though the sling was lined with a breathable soft mesh:




They didn't have the large when I ordered, the x-large arm sling was WAY too long. The straps were all too long but we made them work as they're lots of adjustability and they can be cut down. The velcro tab ends are removable. The sling lining on this one was also hot.




Get some fuzzy/soft child seatbelt pads to cover the scratchy velcro tabs. My arms were all chewed up and rashed after just a few days.

Use half pint frozen water bottles to help keep the icewater colder longer.
