For the last 4 week's I've been complaining about this upper left back pain that radiates down my left arm and hand I've started noticing this pain one week after surgery, I didn't get it checked out asap because I was thinking it was gas pain from surgery....so week 3 the pain had been consistently painful, so I went to my urgent care and the MD diagnosis it as Radiculopathy some sort of nerve damage, I was requested to do physical therapy and hope that the pain will go away.....this is really nerve racking because it's like boom!! pre op no pain whatsoever and now post op this happens ....anyone have or had this problem before?
