Nerve damage from Lipo?? Pain question, too...
I'll have my B levels testing--thanks for the advice. I had lipo (smaller amount) done on my upper butt and it looks FABULOUS and although it was super tender for two weeks and now just tender, it wasn't horrific like the high volume on the thighs. I bet it wouldn't be terrible on the midsection of you didn't do high volume. I want a tiny bit on my back "chub"...maybe some day! lol

HOW ARE YOUR ARMS DOING ???
I think anything above 5 or 6 is high volume...I could be mistaken. Arms are good--still have a slight decrease in my range of motion as far as reaching is concerned, but it is improving. The scar looks as good as can be expected and is relatively thin and flat. :-) I still wake up occasionally with swollen forearms or hands or both, but it is diminishing--YAY! :-) I'm so glad to have "normal" arms. :-)
