Hi everyone, looking for answers on nerve blocks after surgery.
My reverse shoulder replacement was on Tuesday, Jan 31st.
I had two nerve blocks, one before surgery and one after surgery.
It is now day three after surgery, Feb 3rd, and I continue to have numbness and tingling in my hand, affecting the thumb, forefinger, and the middle finger.
I told my Dr yesterday about the numbness and tingling. He instructed me to exercise with the soft ball more often. I have and no change in my condition.
What were your experiences with a nerve block? Did you have prolonged numbness and tingling in your hand? Did it finally go away?
Thank you for your replies.
