I have some nerve pain in the upper arm from the Miradry hitting a nerve two months ago. It only hurts when stretching the arm in the air. Is there anything i should avoid doing or do for it to heal better? Maybe avoid movement that make it hurt?

Answer: Miradry nerve damage Nerve damage is a rare result of miraDry, because it is a noninvasive surgery there is no direct trauma to the nerves. There is still a possibility that the nerves suffered some injury or inflammation tend to heal over long periods of time. Worst case complications reported to miraDry, although I have never personally seen them in my own or anyone else's practice, are scarring and contracture of the axilla (the shortening of the muscle). This may explain the pain caused from stretching but I would advise you seek out a plastic surgeon ASAP.
