nerve issues after surgery

I had surgery on my shoulder, before the surgery I was told they would be giving me a nerve block and this would help with the pain. The dr. gave me versed as well as a general before the proceedure. I felt it the whole time even though i was disorientated I felt a lot of pain.... the doctor tried to get the nerve block in place 5 times and at that point I said forget it your killing me.. surgery went well as far as my shoulder. However after surgery the majior pain was in my neck.. my neck was swollen and purple. I then started having speratic jerking of my arm when I would turn my neck a certain way or go to pick up somthing.
This seems very strange to me as well as frighting to me as well. This condition is getting worse the pain,the invoulntary jerking of my arm....
I feel helpless. I feel like an idiot... It is as if by having this surgery I developed terrets.. the violant jerking of my arm,, whenthis happend it hurts so bad not the nicest words come out of my mouth.....
The only response that I got from the anastesia dr was well i guess i could have hurt somthing in there.. i guess thats why i couldnt get it in .
I so  now im being refered to a neurologist... I am afraid.I now have numbness down my neck toward my breast area... my fingers... I still have feeling in these areas they are just diminished if you will...
This truely scaring me. I have been taking the morphine perscribed as well as a sleeping pill to be able to rest and nothing.. I cannot sleep because of the pain...
Help me please give me some direction...

Hi,

It looks as if your nerve got injured during your surgery. But please do not get worried. It will not improve your situation. Visit the neurologist, get some nerve conduction studies. In the meanwhile, try relaxation with meditation. That will help with the pain and also let you sleep better.

Do keep me posted
