A doctor has provided 1 answer

Couldbe lymphangitis: Cellulitis is inflammation of skin. Like veins there are vessels called lymphatics in our body which when inflamed can cause significant pain. See your PCP to confirm diagnosis. Will need analgesics like motrin and antibiotics as trt. Don't hang down the upperlimb , keep it elevated. Warm compresses may help.
