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.
