It's probably where Your surgeon did the most manipulating on your sleeve.  It's usually the last pain that leaves you.  Give it another week or so, it gets better...hang in there!!

I had the same problem. It started about 1 week out and maybe halfway through week 2. The surgeon's nurse told me it was likely my nerves trying to heal. When I saw my surgeon at 1 week post op she said she could feel one of my major stitches in that area. It was a debilitating pain so I was so happy when it was gone. However, the surgeon said it could last for up to 1 month. I think it helped me most to get restful sleep at night.

Good luck!!
