What causes arm pain after taking BP readings?
Patient: I took my blood pressure ar home and it really hurt my are like when you give blood and they tie a rubber strip around your are to take blood. This was about 5months ago. I am just asking now as I had sever medical events since then but it still hurts. Feels like a nerve pain and hurts when I sleep on that arm. Any suggestions? Doctor: Hello,  The pain may not be related to BP recording and can b due to some other causes. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. If pain persists, better to consult a neurologist for any possible neuropathic pain.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
