It s been 5 years since my bilateral mastectomy. I am experiencing shock like sensations down my right arm as well as sharp pain around my armpit and top of implant. When I get these sensations I am unable to move my fingers. I started aramidex about 30 days ago.

this is commonly due to injury to local nerves. Mostly intercostobrachial nerve.
Exercises and symptomatic relief can be obtained with Pregabalin and Typtomer.
