Mini arm lift 6 weeks ago during which I felt the electrical currents during the cauterisation along the whole length of the arm down to the fingers. I have a painful thrombosed vein (confirmed) which feels like a cord under the skin of the inside of my arm. Could this have been caused by the electrical currents ? I cannot ask my surgeon as it's likely to offend him. Please help as I'm very scared that it may not resolve
