Had A Shoulder Operation Done To Repair AC Joint. Had Pins And Needles In Arms And Fingers. Normal?

Hi
I had a shoulder operation done last Fri (28th) to repair my AC joint. since Sat evening after the operation, I had pins and needles going down the arm and into my fingers. I thought at first it was the nerve block wearing off but I still have it as well as a pinching feeling when I raise my arm up. I am just wondering is this normal after this type of operation or is there anything I can do to stop or even help it

Hi, Any operation is done to make you comfertable, still if you are having discomfert or more pain, no reason why you are hesitating, i advise you to consult your operating doctor for clarification, if there is some problem he will correct or advise .
Besides i advise you to avoid potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods, till you get relieved of the problem by your doctor.
Apain for a short period is common after any orthopedic operation. if it is prolonged have an advise. Thank you.
