I am 2 months post WLE on my right arm. I started to feel better a few weeks ago and returned to light exercise and doing more around the house.
the last week I have been struggling with what feels a tightness in my arm (I’m guessing healing?) but also spasms / tingling/ pain when I try to massage around the scar or lift my arm ♀️
how long after WLE did people return to somewhat normality? I know the scar will take up to 2 years to heal but now I’m worried that something more significant is going on within the healing process
Hi swya31
I'm sorry to read that you're struggling with pain in the arm you had your WLE.
I had a WLE on my left arm and it probably took a couple of months before I was completely pain free, although the numb feeling around the scar took a long time to go. You say that it was only 2 months ago that you had your WLE so maybe just have a chat over the phone with your SCNS for reassurance, but I would think you'll start to notice an improvement soon, based on my experience.
