Both of my arms were numb after my Tummy Tuck with lipo of thighs. When I came out of surgery I could lift either arm. Slowly feeling has come back but it still feels like both are asleep and I have limited strength in forearms, biceps, and hands. My thumbs and index fingers are completely numb. I am two weeks PO. Is this normal? What can I do to fix this? I go back to work in a few days and need my arms to function. Help??
