A member asked:
I pulled a muscle in my armpit 6 weeks ago xray was negative, why is my whole arm still swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can take time ---: For the swelling to resolve. Are you doing any therapy? Is the swelling decreasing or not? If its increasing then you should go an er asap. Ask your orthopedist about it. Regular exercises, Ibuprofen & compression bandage would help, if your doc advises. Check with him/her. Good luck.
