Had open brachial artery thrombectomy for acute ischemia. is it normal 2 weeks later to get forearm pain near radius when straightening the arm? also have hematoma.. saw doc for 1 week follow up with no more follow ups. ? should this be monitored?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : yes the hematoma can explain some compression to the nerve, which is adjacent to the vessel may take a couple of months to resolve
