Why Does Left Arm Remain Numb 8 Months After Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery?

Asked By:9283anon in Virginia, USA

I just completed my 3rd BA Revision surgery in L.A. after 2 unsuccessful surgeries in Thailand. My 2nd surgery was done in May 2010, and it was a horrible experience. The L.A. doctor fixed my implants, but did not care to address the other issues stemming from my 2nd surgery. I am numb in my upper left arm/arm pit area. It is really annoying, and drives me crazy when I have an itch. There is also a weird sensation when I touch the area. Whill this ever go away?
