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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
