Arm pain in picc line ar.

Hi,

I have had my PICC line now for 6 months, my whole arm has now started hurting from my shoulder to my wrist. It's like a deep dull ache, almost feels like bone pain. They gave checked me for a blood clot, which whilst I already had a blood clot given to me by the line this scan did not show any new ones. My nurses have said it doesn't look like infection and could be muscular. 

Has anybody had something similar? I'm probably just beiing paranoid but I'd really like to make sure it's not something untoward.

Thanks for any help!!

    Hi, I hope you are well. I am searching the internet and found your post because my husband had a PICC line inserted that caused blood clots and three months on is still in agony with his arm. I was wondering if you managed to get and answers or if you have found any improvement with your arm.
