A member asked:
Couple days after getting my blood drawn from my left hand, i've been feeling pain in that arm especially when i stretch it out. what's wrong?

Depends: If there is discoloration, swelling, numbness or marked tenderness of the extremity and along a vein, the arm should be examined. Things like infection or clots would have to be ruled out by a physician. If there are none of these findings probably nothing serious other than some positional muscular strain is present and the discomfort will clear on its own.

I have spoken to my primary Dr. several times, and after x rays EMGS in both hands/ arms and every blood test she's given me so far still nothing. Hands/ feet get worse with any kind of heat. Wether it's from using them or just the outside elements?
