Lower arm/wrist/hand pain



Recommended Posts

So both my lower arms, elbow to fingers hurt like a mofo. Painkillers don't even touch it. Tried heat pad, icy pack, elevated. I have been doing a lot of walking. The arm that had IV is worse. I have a mild fever 100.3. I don't see obvious sweeling, but I do feel like a knot right my elbow on IV arm.

Is it just gas pain or something worth calling doctor.

give your doc a call and run it by him/her. i have never heard of gas pain in that area and you have such intense pain and mild fever. call today.

I had pain a couple of days out in my lower arms, almost like growing pains. It really hurt and I went to the er and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. My skin was also hot to the touch and they thought at first I had a blood clot but it ended up going away in 2 days on its own

I called, the Nurse said rotate hot and cold compresses, if fever goes up or increased swelling or turns red, go in. She said arms, especially iv can hurt from anesthesia.

Yes, it's growing pains. They hurt FAR worse than any stomach pain.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
