Am I experiencing Nerve Pain/Damage a side effect of the Miradry Procedure?

February 12, 2014
Asked By:star2567

I had the second treatment of Miradry at level 5 two months ago, and since that time I have experiencing pain in my right arm radiating (sometime shooting, sometimes constant) from the axilla down to the elbow. Sometimes, I can also feel pain in the forearm area. Visually, there is nerve (or tendon) that is very prominent in my tricep area. It is painful when stretching or pushing. Is this axillary nerve damage? I'm scared about permanent damage, so should I seek medical treatment. Please help!
