I recently had wisdom teeth removed and have had a feeling like I have restricted circulation in the arm where the anesthetic was administered. After the procedure, I had a very sore area (felt like a nasty bruise, but not visible) on my arm about 2" up from my wrist - I still feel some soreness in this area. My forearm was hot and red for one day and then returned to normal. I started to have a feeling like my arm was about to fall asleep/restricted circulation that is still with me two weeks later. The feeling has moved up into my shoulder/neck area and is worse when I lay down. I followed up with the Oral Surgeon, who stated it would have nothing to do with receiving anesthesia. He checked my pulse, which he said was fine.
Medical history:
I am a 31 year old female with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since age 15 (primarily in my knees). I take Enbrel, Zoloft and birth control. Otherwise, active and healthy.
