Hi Dr, Four day ago, i wore a tight/ Close-fitted rugby jersey and i felt a pain under my arm as if it was blocking blood circulation in the big vein (Auxiliary Vein). i took off the rugby jersey after 2 hour because i was at the mall...its been four days now but i still feel the pain..What could be the problem. Thank you in advance Dr Seerane in South Africa
Hello, If it was due to compression at your auxiliary vein there should also e excessive swelling with discoloration at your affected upper limb. Your details are not showing that in that case I can assume that it is not there. Looking at all of this, it looks to me strain at tendons at your maxilla. You should not worry too much about this and do warm fomentation over this are this will increase local circulation and wash out pain producing substances and heal minor problems. You may also have a mild analgesic like ibuprofen or paracetamol for relief. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
