Have you returned to the surgeon? Your vascular symptoms should have resolved immediately post-op. Don't just try your best to deal with your arm changing color...go seek medical attention!
I would say the burning and pinching pain is normal and fades away slowly in the months following surgery. Nerve medicines like Lyrica or Neurontin help. Low dose anti-depressants like Cymbalta or Pamelor also help the nerve pain.
