i know this post is pretty long, but please, please, please take the time to read it.
i don't know whats going on; it hurts to just type this. for the last day or two my left arm has been swollen to almost twice the size of my right arm. its not like i simply missed my shot (although its a possibility) where just the spot of injection hurts for a day or maybe two; as the pain decreases everyday. my whole forearm is absolutely killing me, from my wrist to my elbow and it seems the pain has been increasing from day to day. there are only two physical symptoms that i have noticed; one being the swelling and second being a red spot (almost like a bruise) that is about the size of a dime, maybe a little smaller, that has appeared out of nowhere. my arm pretty much hurts all the time (mild pain when sitting still) but when i try to bend my arm the pain is pretty damn bad...there is also a pain on the top side of my arm. also, i am unable to fully extend my arm to a straight position without the pain being so unbearable. lastly, my arm is warm to the touch; there is a noticeable difference between the temperature of my left arm compared to the right one. someone please help.... is this going to go away naturally like other pains do from missed shots/hit nerves/hit arteries? its been about 2-3 days with no improvement and i am becoming more and more worried as time goes on. i should also add that last night, when trying to find a comfortable position to sleep (an almost impossible task) there was a piercing pain in my chest; only on the left side (same side as the 'injured' arm) that seems to be my a pain coming from my heart, making me even more concerned about my condition. has anyone else gone through a similar situation? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
