PSA: Nursemaids (dislocated) elbow!

Valerie

Maybe I was just ignorant, but be careful holding/pulling your toddlers by the hand, because it can cause a dislocated elbow 😩 In my case, i was holding her hand firmly and she yanked away, and I heard a pop. It was so scary. And painful for her. They popped it back in the ER really quickly and she was acting like nothing happened. But they told me that this is apparently very common, especially when parents swing their kids by their arms when playing. So careful y’all!
