Has anyone suffered from a pinched nerve after their surgery? Specifically, mine seems to generate from my left shoulder blade, down my shoulder and then down my arm to the elbow. IT HURTS! I can't lift my arm very high and my range of motion is limited so that I can't attach my bra (frustrating!) This started about a month ago after I started physical therapy. (Some of the exercises they were having me do didn't seem right but who am I to question?) So now I'm back on the "pain scale" and having to take pain meds again. My PT said there's not much I can do other than rest the area and ice it. He has me stretching my neck slightly thinking that my neck may be causing it. I see my surgeon next month so if it's not better by then, maybe he has a clue.
I feel that this recovery has been 2 steps forward, 1 step back...
