I had a pth-ectomy on 3-7. When does the arm implant stop hurting? My bone pain is completely gone so I can do my marathon’s again, but this arm ain’t right. It is not infected. anybody got words of encouragement?
Still hurting after 5 weeks? For a minor surgery? (arm) When was the last time you called the surgeon? I would get some help and get it now. If your surgeon wont help talk to your Neph or have him/her recommend someone. You have the right to be as pain free as possible. If you are still in pain after this time it is possible something isn’t quite right. Get some help! Good Luck
Your arm implant, is it a fistula? How long have you had it?
In some cases, all of the parathyroid glands are removed–and then part of one is implanted in the arm, where it is easier to check on (and remove if it gets too big again).
