I have a constant dull pain in my arm since surgery, which sometimes extends down all the way to my wrist. haven't had sleep for 6 weeks. Before surgery I never had trouble sleeping.

I am wondering if i what i have is nerve pain actually. Has anyone had this? is there any way to diagnose it for sure?

For example a Dr appointment which could be just via email. I email them but their answer is, "Let us know at what time we can call you to set up the appointment?". Why do they need to call me? They could just tell me the availability in the email.

I don't even pick up calls from unknown numbers as most of them are scams nowadays. And when I try to call them I get forever listening music or it goes to voicemail, causing a lot of unnecessary back and forth.

Why not just set everything up via email or tex? We are in 2026, I'm surprised how many businesses are still via call only

I'm over 5 weeks from a subpectoral open tenodesis (nothing else was done).

I am in constant pain and cant sleep. I never had trouble sleeping before surgery. Medications are barely helping.

It seems not normal at this point.

Wonder if anyone got chronic pain after tenodesis, and if you found any solution for it?
