From what you describe, you should see your doctor immediately. If you have somehow gotten and infection, it can be extremely serious, easily to the point of life threatening.

Have you been evaluated for infection or nerve damage? Stay on your dr, this is not normal.

Everything's Fine!!

Hi, Everything is not fine, I guess our Drs' should go back to school & learn the definition of "Fine". I just had to have my 4th PM pulled as it moved from under my muscle & worked it's way into nerves causing pain & numbness in my arm & hand. After my new replacement PM from a few weeks ago, me arm & hands are OK {fine) now.
As others posted, get back to your Dr and then possibly see a Neurologist. Good Luck !!
