Do not keep your limb completely immobalized. I don't know how much you should move it, but keep circulation going.
A friend of mine was instructed to keep her leg immobalized and raised after she hurt herself (I can't remember what the leg injury was exactly). They should have made it clear they meant "mostly immobalized". She developed a blood clot, and ended up being sick and on blood-thinning medication for a month after the initial injury was gone (this is above and beyond the danger to one's life a large blood clot entails).
