Hello, amanda.

Did you get any painkillers? If not, than you must ask for them. Describe pain intensity to doctor to be sure that he/she will give you some pain relievers. Try to massage injured place. If you are not sure how, find someone who knows. Change arm position often, because numbness can be eased up with that easy trick.

You said "after a few days of self treating". How did you treated yourself?

Have you tried any form of exercise to loosen injured nerve? You can also try a hydro massage which can be performed at the house. Just use your shower and point water stream onto injured body part. Mix with hot and cold water for 10-15 minutes.

I hope it will help. Cheers!
