Loose Longeta

Moderators, if there’s already a thread for this kind of thing, please feel free to move this where it belongs 🙂

So, here's the situation. On Saturday, I had a splint applied to my left arm—likely for some tendon issue or something along those lines—and now the thing is incredibly loose. It’s basically acting like a glove; I can just slide it right off. Should I be heading back to the hospital to get it tightened up, or is it better to just sit tight until my follow-up appointment? I’ll be honest, I’m a bit out of my element here; this is my first time dealing with a splint, so I’d really appreciate some insight from anyone who's been through this. 🙂 thanks

So, I got a Longeta put on my left arm this past Saturday (pretty sure it's a tendon issue or something) and now the thing is way too loose. Like, I can basically slide it off like a glove. Should I head back to the hospital to get it fixed right away, or just wait until my follow-up appointment? Honestly, I'm a total newbie when it comes to wearing these things, so I'd really appreciate some advice. 🙂 thanks!

That Longeta shouldn't be loose at all. You should probably head back to the hospital.

You should probably head down to the mechanic to get that looked at—it shouldn't be that loose, honestly.
