Suggest treatment for chronic pain in wrist and swelling in veins
Patient: I HAVE ALOT OF PAIN IN MY WRIST, ALSO MY VEINS AND FLESH ON MY RIGHT ARM HURTS BADLY. MY VEINS ARE PURE BLUE AND A BIT SWOLLEN. YESTERDAY MY PAIN WAS WITH MY THUMB. TODAY I HAVE PAIN IN THE TOP OF MY LEFT HAND WHERE MY VEINS ARE. I BEEN HAVING THIS PAIN FOR ALMOST TWO MONTH.. EVERY MORNING ARM (RIGHT) IS NUMB. FOR ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS STRIGHT HELP Doctor: Ok, there are limits from not having an examination. Veins often look funny. If there is a difference between the arms then it would be more likely to mean something. Venous clots in the arms are kind of rare. The whole arm swells up like a balloon and is quite alarming in these rare situations and there is usually something else going on to cause it (trauma, clotting issues, etc.).Then, lying on some structures irritates them. This is common. Most people have a little of this sometime. Neck problems or wrist problems make it likely to happen to someone all the time. A wrist brace often helps.
