I had a picc line in upper right arm for 7 weeks. since removal my arm, shoulder, and neck hurt. it's worse in the evening. what could cause this!

Venous thrombosis: I would be concerned about clotting in the venous system where the picc line was located. You should see your doctor and an ultrasound of the venous system would be the first imaging study to consider.
