What Can Be Done for Chronic Pain/numbness 2 Years After Liposuction and Arm Lift?

November 5, 2008
Asked By:Troubled in Texas

I had some Liposuction done to my underarm, hip, and back area at the same time I had an arm lift. When I woke in the recovery room, my left side from the waist to the foot was numb. That was 2 years ago. My left side is still numb and it tingles/burns. What do you think happened? Do you think it is a back problem or what? I am in chronic pain. What do you think I should do?
