Nerve damage during breast augmentation? Could this have been due to incorrect positioning of arms?
question1237Mar 24, 2015
A week after I had a breast augmentation, I noticed when I swing my arm back I get a tingling sensation in my right hand. About 3weeks after, I began having tingling pins and needles in that hand no matter the position. I have had implants removed after 50 days. Now its about 2 and a half months after the onset of symptoms. What is the likelihood a peripheral nerve was damaged. Could this have been due to incorrect positioning of arms. Also my right is hand having burning sensation too.
