Arm pain after brachioplasty. Could the compression sleeves by too tight?

Asked By:alynnbrock in Fresno, CA

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?
