I have pain in my armpit and now also on the inside of my bicep. I have just noticed also now bruising on my forearm and slightly above the inside of my elbow. It hurts to stretch my arm above my head but not to flex or put it out sideways. I ve had numbness in my first three fingers for a while now before the armpit started. What should I do and should I go to the doctor immediately or wait until my appt next week?
Hi, numbness in your fingers could be related or not related to your arm pain, the numbness could be due to median nerve compression, a condition known as carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. As far as consultation goes, if your symptoms are mild 5 to 7 days delay is not going to do any harm, but do not wait more than that as this may than cause more and irreversible damage to your nerve. Meanwhile keep limb in position that helps you soothe the symptoms the most, take tablet Pregabalin 75\u00a0mg SR daily, along with Tab Methylcobalamine 1500mcg SR once daily. Take an appointment in next 5 to 7 days and consult a neurologist.
