Not to mention the increase I upper arm, chest, neck, back & scapula pain. I'm hoping things will calm down next 2 wks. I am also dealing with severe arthritis pain in thumbs, hips, knees, one big toe. I'm sure this colder new England weather is making me worse! I should hop on plane to LA for few mos. but last time I did that I ended up in Torrence ER.
I could use a few prayers
Good Luck with ur healing!

16rHonda -- thanks for contributing to the post. So sorry about your post-op symptoms. Don't get discouraged.... 6 weeks post-op is not long and it can take a while for things to settle down, after such a big surgery. I hope you are in contact with your doctor and also taking some nerve pain meds. I used neurontin and lidocaine patches for some post-surgery nerve pain I had...
I wish you much improvement over the next few weeks - will be thinking of you.
take care of yourself!
