Anyone have experience with pinched nerve?

My surgery is doing well on yesterday and between arm and elbow is really pain so bad, and end of finger is weak right now. My doctor told me to take some time to get normal again. The numbness and tingling is all gone, and feel little better but I have bulky band on lower arm, and its feel like cast on bottom. I don't feel so good last night since surgery is finished on Friday during lunch time and feel so lousy for rest of time until night then got up and got some food. Unlike previous surgery, I don't have throat sore after got tube out and don't got much depressed too. We will call on Monday about doctor appt. and confirm on between Thursday and Friday for get my cast off and check out my lower arm, and replace with small band or other something. If you want see my picture of my lower arm then PM me.

I don't feel so good to around here right now and got alot of rest, and hopefully would feel better tomorrow or around few days.
 
never had an pinched nerves and hope ill never get one it sounds bad sorry to hear a bout this man
 
Give it some time, don't rush it. Glad the surgery was a success!! Good Luck to ya man:)
 
I have pinched nerves in my back bones.. it sucks ... i hate it.. :( if i do too much work like bending over. my back will go out for few days.. sucks!
 
I'm going see doctor tomorrow for take cast off...

It seems that surgery isn't successful for me but wait for few weeks if end of my finger is heal. :(
 
I hope that it will go away... If you have a muscle stimulator device, it might help to strength your muscles which is part of the nerves.
 
Update...

My doctor already took my cast off and its looks so awful, and arm is so weak then doctor asked me to exercise with arm and hand to going back to normal. Doctor said that will take some time to get back to normal again without any tight in end of my finger and nerves are still little pain.

There's picture of my arm.

Gee. It looked that your doctor did not a good job. What a mess! You might have a very thick permanent scar. I know what a scar looks alike. I am sorry to tell you that.

I wish that you could try the Electronic Muscle Stimulation before you go for the surgery. That would make a difference. Why I said that? My aunt's arm was in pain - a lot of pain for no reason after she woke up. My mother rubbed hard on her sister's arm for 20 minutes. The pain is gone completely. My aunt doesn't understand how it got away so she was so glad that she cancelled the ER. She was scared to death to deal with her pain.

Well, now you are finished with your surgery. Let's hope that you will be fine in a few weeks.

I don't think so about permanent scar but wait and see if happen to my arm. If happen then I would order scar medicine to reduce the scar and seems not bad to me. I was scared to see my arm with medsize cut and seems would ruin my skin.

Hate to tell you, it's gonna scar....BAD. The incision looks big, so it's going to be ugly.
 
Oh gosh ... it looks terrible. Look like if your doctors were in hurry and did it.

I just had neck surgery almost three weeks ago for bone marrow, fusing and plating. My doctors only cut two inches in front to alittle sideway to work inside on back for three bones. Last week 8 small tapes on my incision were removed by doctors. It looks good. It's healing very nicely. I'm glad I had good doctors.

I think that your scar-tissue is swelling. It would better off for you to put the tape back on your skin so that it would not "rip" your skin and bleed a lot when you move your arm. This scar is probably healing itself for one more week. I feel awful to see your picture, and it is better than nothing or no arm.

A desert plant that has oval green leaves that can heal the scar, and it makes the scar wider and smooth. I would say 70 percent better, and it is not perfect one. I don't remember the name of the plant. Maybe, a doctor has another treatment to reduce the scar.
 
Gee, that's where they cut you? Goodness I didn't think it would be that big, poor thing :hug:

I wish you well :(

I have a huge scar on my stomach from C-section, and yet I don't see it as being ugly, you make people feel bad about themsevles for having huge scars on their bodies by making them feel ugly just cause you see it as being ugly...

*shrugs*
