I am 4 weeks out from extended tt, brachioplasty and
huge hernia repair. My dr also uses the novacane type
pump and i have had just about no pain in the tummy
area. The arms are a different story. Any pain I have
had is in my arms. They are still swollen-but I use
them every day and they will take longer to heal. Keep
them ace wrapped at night to help swelling. Have only
taken extra strength tylenol since day 1 in hospital
because I got sick on the vicodin, and it has
controlled the pain fine. Luci
