I had my second surgery two and a half weeks ago. It went well, both the pain and the functionality of the arm are a little better this time, though having to rely on my left arm for everything just four months after having it operated on has been a challenge. My original side is holding up with just a bit of extra soreness (as far as I can judge) but it gets very tired very easily. I'm a bit apprehensive about how the next few months will play out, but I'm trying to stay optimistic. I'm not certain what you mean by "nerve burning", but the types of pain I've been dealing with this time is similar to what they were the first time.
