I posted earlier about my arm lift which I had 1 week ago and my right arm is still completely paralysed. My surgeon says I have a pinched nerve and will recover 100%. Can anybody please give me a likely time-frame? I have gone from not being able to move my fingers to now being able to make a fist (albeit a weak one). I can barely lift my hand up. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Had an extended brachioplasty done a week ago. Last day antibiotics a couple days ago and since then lots of swelling tightness and tingling in upper arm to point compression feels like cuts off wrist circulation. I am icing and elevating arms. Any other ideas or concerns re this
I had brachioplasty 8 days ago. Today they switched me from an XL compression sleeve to a large. They also removed three stitches (the rest being internal and dissolvable). Suddenly today my arm (mainly the right one) has been throbbing and is painful. Could the compression sleeves be too tight now?
I am 7 days post op and weighing 9 pounds heavier than day of surgery. I haven't changed a thing eating habit wise. I know I am still swollen and retaining some fluid but how long until I return to my normal weight?
I had a brachioplasty a week ago. No blood or anything since day 2. I keep hearing on this site that I needed compression garments is this true? Also my armpits look scary is this Normal? They aren't bleeding or oozing
I am 5 days post op and am very concerned about how the shape around the back of my right arm is turning out. I was wearing my compression garment on that side too low at first, but have now pulled the sleeve up. No change at all and am worried it will heal in this shape. Is this just normal swelling? The other incision is not this lumpy at all!
On the fourth day post op, I noticed that some bruising and slight swelling on both arms had moved down to my forearm. I don't feel any pain from it and it's also not sensitive. I just found it odd that it was not there for the past 3 days and now it is. I also asked if a nerve pinching pain in only one elbow area was normal after this procedure. The compression garment felt too tight at first, but is now much better. My doctor said the sharp nerve pinch is normal, but it still worries me.
