Yes. Since immediately following my CT surgery, my 2 middle fingers have been numb on the inside of the fingers, they tingle and burn and are unbelievably sensitive. I get severe pain now that I didnt have before on the back of my hand - feels like it is on fire. Also at the same time will have stabbing burning pain in my upper arm near my shoulder - this is the problem I had before all this. Its not *quite* as bad as it was - but still bad enough to have me eating percocets daily - mainly at night.
