What Causes Numbness And Weakness In Arm After Draining Cyst In Armpit?
Ok so i had this pus filled cyst thing under my arm in my arm pit region. I lanced it with medical scisors that belonged to my older sister and pus and blood litteraly shot across the room. Like a meter and a half. I had to clean it off the wall..... It was really hard before but now its not as hard and most of the fluid and pus is out of it. I had to cut about a quarter centi meter to reach it then ti was circular and about 2 centi meters in diameter. But that not what im worried about the pulse in the arm that has the cyst is not much weaker and the whole arm feel a little numb and weak. This could be due to the fact that i had that arm raised above my head for about half an hour but i dont know for sure. The pus was pale yellow in color also clear fulid came out, the blood that came out was very thin. I think i covered everythin but i dont know for sure please tell me what you think.
Hello Your narration seems to be related to abscess in your axillary region. Usually superficial infection of hair root causing boil occurs in this region but deep abscess is another possibility. Since you have tingling sensation in your fingers it may be due to Extension of your abscess deep near to brachial plexus nerves. I will advise you to consult a surgeon to drain the pus and prescribe antibiotics. Also you need to be investigated for the cause of such abscess. Blood sugar must be checked. Rest investigations to be planned according to your full clinical details. Again I will advise you to consult a surgeon. Hope you recover early Thanks Dr Neeraj kumar Dm neurology
