I had arm lipo on 1/11, I am still hurting, swollen and hard.I haven't done anything for the last 2 days and this morning after church they were throbbing. I am unable to wear the compression sleeves, they were unbearable. I am worried about nerve damage. I've called my PS several times, no help. He said not to start massages until after 2/23. I can barely touch them now. I don't understand. Thoughts? I had a breast reduction on 9/11 and it was a breeze. Healed fast and love them. Took pain meds 2 days.
