Tingling / stinging pain in hand and forearm post op (labrum repair).

23M, 6’0 190lb, not on any OTC meds, taking bpc-157 daily for about an 8 week window post-op.

I got labrum repair surgery about 2.5 weeks ago, 4 anchors and arthroscopic.

I’ve got pretty bad tingling / stinging pain (nerves) down my forearm and into my thumb on the surgery arm. In the first couple of days, I could barely bend my elbow past 90 degrees without severe pain, but now I can go almost straight with some pretty bad pain. Some nights I wake up and my arm is on fire, and I just reposition it and it’ll go away.

Anyone have any experience with this? Any remedies you know of? Should I expect this to go away since I’m “getting better” so far?
