Pain in my arm?!
Question:
Pain in my arm?
I have a pain in my right arm, in one spot only, that has been around since last night. It doesn't hurt terribly, more like a dull stabbing/throbbing that comes and goes but is more or less constantly there to some degree. It is only in one spot on my upper arm/bottom of my bicep area. I have no other symptoms like radiating pain or anything except it looks like there could be a little bruise in the spot it hurts but maybe thats because I keep poking at it. Also, I went golfing yesterday (which i never do) and hit 100 balls so my arms are sore as it is. The pain started about 5 hrs after I went golfing and has persisted ever since. I am worried that I have a blood clot although that seems a bit irrational? I am 20 w/ no major health problems etc.
Answers:
Try not to stress about it too much. Stretch it out and pay attention to it over the next few days. If you're a young healthy person, then it probably isn't a blood clot. If it still hurts by the end of the week, see or at least call your doctor. If you're super worried, you can give your doctor a call. With questions like this, you can sometimes ask the doc or a nurse over the phone and they can advise.
