Is extreme nerve irritation after brachioplasty normal 5 weeks post-op? (photos)

May 4, 2019

I continue to have extreme nerve sensitivity and irritation more than 5 weeks after surgery. Also have burning pain along incisions. My surgeon says it will go away but I expected more improvement by now (and this issue developed a couple days after surgery). At what point do I seek other answers? Needing constant compression to have any relief, frustrating since I didn’t get this surgery to have my arms constantly covered.
