I had brachioplasty with lipo 4 weeks. I still wear the compression sleeves at night per MD instructions. I have been having painful posterior forearms, wrist and hands for the last 2 weeks. It feels as if someone has pull the tendons in my forearms across the room. I thought it was the sleeves and left them for 24 hours but they are still painful. I consulted my MD office and they said they hadn't of someone having this before. Is this normal?
I had a bilateral extended brachioplasty with liposuction (which did not result in much of an improvement and actually caused other cosmetic issues) over a year ago. I still can't get through a work day without feeling swollen, weak and sore. I don't know what is wrong or what doctor to even see? Is this normal?? I refuse to go back to my PS - the insurance actually covered the surgery the first time as well as the revisions I requested but did not do (he also left me with dog ears with my breast lift)
two weeks post op and the arms are still hurting my tummy tuck was a walk in the park compared to this.....the sutures are now pulling as my arms are healing.....I feel aching pain and alot of bruising.....waiting for my compression jacket to arrive as I had an allergic reaction to the latex in the tensor bandages that I was wrapped in hoping it will help still taking T3 nerve tingling too
I had an arm lift with lipo over 7 months ago and felt like I was recovering well for the first 6 weeks. Then I started having excruciating bilateral arm pain which felt like tight tourniquets on my upper arms. I have seen my PS and multiple specialists, done PT, lymphatic massage, myofascial massage and am taking Lyrica for the pain. But I continue to have this constant tight pressure in my upper arms - feels like I have blood pressure cuffs on - any insights on what would cause this? Help?
I would like to know how come i can't stretch my arm well? I can stretch it while its down but not when i elevate it and try to stretch at the same time! I can feel little strings pulling above my forearm/ inner elbow. Its painful when i try to stretch. Does anyone know why its like that?
I had a mini arm lift. I know I I am only 16 days post but I seem to be running into issues...pain, extreme tenderness...one arm is full of bumps and dents. My Dr. said it is swelling. So then why do I have this dents and it's not smooth. What do I do now ? Can this be fixed? Is the swelling? Is this normal? I do not want to lose faith in my plastic surgeon, any suggestions?
Hi, my surgery was 7 weeks ago. My right forearm hurts, I can stretch my arm completely but it hurts when I do.. like it is pulling from the wrist to the elbow (inner part). Also, I bought a compression garment and it feels comfortable on the upper and lower side of arm but in the middle seems to press and it makes this pain worse. Do you think maybe it is too tight? or should I just wear it until I get used to it? Thanks.
