Extreme pain and numbness in left arm following breast augmentation. Is it nerve damage?

Asked By:nikkilongname in Leicester, GB

I had my augmentation 4 days ago. Under muscle through the crease. My right side is ok but my Left is much more painful. My left had a drain the right did not. During the day it's not as bad but my left arm feels tingly and numb. However at night I wake up screaming. My arm feels almost separate to my body and I have to vigorously rub my veins and get my boyfriend to lay on it to stop it hurting. It's also while sleeping that my left breast hurts my chest. I'm worried about nerve damage
