Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Right Arm?
I had surgery about 4 weeks ago and a plate and 4 pins were placed in my right arm right above the wrist. I had a follow up xay and the pins have backed almost out. The surgeon inquired whether I had any tingling or numbness and I don t so he scheduled another follow up for 2 weeks and said the plate and screws would be removed the following week. Is it my fault? Did I do too much? What is involved with the removal? Will a nerve block be used like in the original surgery? Will I have a cast?
