My daughter started with severe pain from armpit to wrist. Vein swelled. Bruising along entire vein line. Hand swollen. Went to ER. Did blood clot test and mammogram. Blot clot test negative. No results from mamogram yet. Any suggestions? She has Hashimotos and I am thinking it might be related to that.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in arms. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis, cervical radiculopathy, nerve compression, or symptoms of angina. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with nerve conduction test. Doctor may prescribe nerve supplement muscle relaxant along with anti-inflammatory and physical therapy along with particular stretching exercises. You can also keep your arm in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutest daily. Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist in case of cardiac problem. For now eat healthy and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. If you are experiencing dizziness, shortness of breath or weakness along with numbness and tingling in legs then you should go to emergency. There is also possibility of carpel tunnel or tendinitis. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
