That "on fire" feeling is a shocker but it should settle down soon. I found that keeping soft padding on the area stopped the contact rub but it will have to go away by itself. For me, 21 months later, I have regained some feeling but mostly the area is numb although does get prickly sensations at times. I don't expect it to get any better. Make sure you keep up your exercises and be alert for lymphoedema. I had cording that I didn't recognise (diagnosed at my follow-up appointment) and I had to have specialist physio for it.
