I am assuming it was a steroid shot?? There are so many
nerves running everywhere, and surgery sets them off, causing extensive pain and throbbing. Nerves take a long time to repair themselves and heal, so you best keep a bit of pain med on hand, if it gets to hurting unbearably.
I had wrist surgery several years ago, and even after the initial worst pain, my entire arm throbbed/ached for
several weeks. Now, most say cold compresses help it to feel better, but I found that a warm heatpad relieved my throbbing the best. Cold is great for swelling, but heat calmed those irritated nerve endings. I found that cold made the pain worse, so desperate for relief, I switched to heat! So glad I did.
I do not think there is much the doctor can do, except
give you more pain med, so I would see if heat would give relief, and wait for your appointment. Sorry it is hurting. I do understand. Another thing, my arm hurt worse when hanging down, so I kept it relaxed and slightly elevated on a stack of pillows beside me. Wishing you relief soon.

Big ow! Call the Doctor and tell him/her that you are having a lot of pain and ask what pain med if any can you take. I am sure someone will give you an answer.

Hi DeVon,

It looks like a lot of bruising and that will take a few days to subside. I hope you won't be in too much pain for long. Love and blessings Chris

Hope you are feeling much better today!! Hugggggggs to you!!

I hope it gets better soon. It wouldn't hurt calling the doctor asking him if this is normal. At least your mind will be at ease.

If you are worried - call the doctor - what can he say - except - this is normal - it will heal in do time or I need to see you again?
