Along with the pain from my wound, my arm has been feeling funny for days. I finally figured it out! It's from wearing this Ace bandage around my chest for three weeks...it's pinching a nerve! I'm going to insist on seeing the doctor tomorrow and getting some other type of wrap/bandage. The other arm just started to hurt, too.
I called this AM and said I HAVE to see the doctor today regarding this. Removed the Ace this morning, added an extra gauze pad with tape and that's that. I realize my doctor is not thinking about my situation 24/7 like I am, and I'll *try* not to hold it against him that he didn't realize the Ace could be a problem. It was abrading the radiated skin under my arm, too. Geez.
