Hi

its easy to jump on every little symptom and think the worse. I get that arm feeling from time to time, the worst being months ago that I took myself to the GP to get it checked out. It was determined it was due to stress and probably the way I was lying in bed at night. About two weeks later it was gone, I get the odd flare up but then it recedes. It had nothing to do with my breast cancer. 

If it’s not gone by the time of your breast clinic appointment then I would tell the staff there of it.

try not to worry too much x

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, much appreciated.

I did wonder if it could be stress related too! Going to be a long couple of weeks I think.

I hope you are keeping well xx

My arm is now swollen and pain from neck to fingers...i dont know im just being a drama queen or if it could be something serious?

Pain was worse yesterday but woke up this morning and its noticeabley swollen, my wee girl asked ne why my hand was bigger than the other one

Did u ever get swelling in your arm?xx

No I’ve never had swelling, if I were you I would go see my GP over the swelling. Have you’ve tried Anti-inflammatory meds’ to help with the pain/swelling? 

Ive been taking diclofenac the past 2 days foe lain relief,freaking myself out now!

Will phone the doctors tomorrow i think just to see what they think, so scared of wasting their time but something isnt sitting right with me xx

Glad you’re going to see your GP, you won’t be wasting their time. I understand it’s a worry but Can’t think why your arm would be swollen from the neck down. I wouldn’t be jumping to conclusions - wait and see what the GP says. Try and keep calm. x

Its very odd! Have felt quite unwell today and now have a horrendous headache...i wouldnt be surprised if it was stress related! Early night tonight and will see the doctor tomorrow, thanks again for taking the time to reply xx

I doubt this is stress related. I’m worried about you. You may have an infection so please make sure you actually see a doctor tomorrow and not just phone for an appointment. If your symptoms worsen tonight - temperature rise/chills/fast heartbeat then I would certainly be seeking treatment tonight.

Hi 

 see this post was a few years ago. Can I ask what the outcome was? I also have found a lump and waiting for an examination but also have the same pain down my arm as you were describing 

thanks 

Hey, 

I have similar to you currently, waiting for a referral date. Can I ask what the results were of yours?
