Feeling Twinges In Chest, Bump In The Arm. Diagnosed With Superficial Thrombo Phlebitis. Pain In The Arm. Reason?
I m a 29 female I have been having these storage twinges in my chest . Mostly on the right side but the happen on both. Also I went to the ER a few days ago b/c my arm had this small bump that swelled up 3x the size in about an hour and they said it was a superficial thrombophlebitis . I have the occasional pain that will shoot down my arm but its not severe. I m just trying to get an opinion of what it all could be. I have not ha an IV or recent surgery.

Hello,
Thrombophlebitis is inflammation of the veins.
It may be due to trauma.
Give hot fomentation to the part.
Topical heparin cream application will help in reducing the clot formation.
If the is pain analgesic can be taken.
