Pain in my left arm

[Flame]

I have got an odd pain in my left arm, it kind of started in the middle of the joint and felt like the bruise where i had blood taken last week, but it seems to have moved up my arm, anyone got any ideas what it could be?

I keep worrying that it might be a bloody clot.

Hmm the only thing I know about pain in the left arm is that it can be a sign of a heart attack.

Sorry lol - didn't mean to scare you. I'm sure it's not that - it's just the only thing that I associate left-arm pain with though.

It could just be residual injection pain.

I would get it checked out though if it still hurts tomorrow.

Thanks, its still here today only it is now in my arm, shoulder and my chest when i breathe, it feels like a muscle ache but i havent lifted or done anything really. Its really worrying me now but there are no doctors surgery's open so that i can get it checked out and after sitting at the hospital for nearly 5 and a half hours last thursday i am a bit reluctant to go there again.

If you don't want to go up to the hospital, ring the NHS number they maybe able to help you

I've called the NHS Direct and i am now waiting for an out of hours doctor to call me back which could take up to 6 hours!!.

They originally wanted to call me an ambulance

I had a pain a bit like that and was told it was the baby on a nerve, but get it looked at as you dont know I would go to the hospital if its getting worse.

Well i have just got back from the emergency doctors, and she said i seem to well to have a blood clot and that she is 99.99999% sure that it isnt that and that it is just muscular, but i have to go back if i get breathless or start coughing up blood.

I have sat down and now typically it hurts even more, the pain is not in my arm anymore it is mainly in my chest.

I didnt realise that blood clots were more common when you are pregnant either until tonight
