Default Heading to the doctors today...

going to go to walk-in clinic after class. There is a lump on my arm, distal to the elbow. It is slightly discolored, and very, very sore. It has spread over the last few days, and started tingling down to my hand after excess use last night. Today, it is very sore and tingling to my hand, hurts to use it at all. Not sure what the doctro can/will do, but it will put some minds to ease.
GAH I swear, my life's health hit its peak at 17.

By discolored do you mean red? It could be an abscess.

No it is not red. It is more...blue/yellow... but not like a bruise. LOL it is hard to explain, and it is only slightly discoured, although there *is* a chance that the discoloration is from an old burn that is scarred now.

ah well, good that you're getting it checked, especially if it's getting worse. Could be a blood clot or something... although if it's a discolored lump it would prolly be superficial if that is what it is. maybe phlebitis.

Home now. He is pretty sure I tore some ligaments, and the tingly feeling is nerves caught in the inflammation. On some anti-inflammatory pills for 10 days, if it doesn't get better by then (or gets worse before then) I need to go back in. Also need to go for physio, since my moms insurance covers it. He said I could still work, may put stress on my arm but if I need to stop I will know. As I'm a student and we don't get WSIB at work (injury most likely happened there) he doesn't want to just out and tell me I can't work, since I would need the money. So he's leaving it on my call, said to try and if it is too much, I will feel it.
