What Causes Twitching And Tightness In My Arms?

I recently took a part time one time job for a week where I sat a lot and the job was out of town and so I was driving in the car a lot. Ever since I was driving back home, I was feeling twitching and tightness in my arms. I thought it was a lack of mobility. It s been a few days since I have been back to normal but when I woke up this morning, I felt a bruise on my right arm but could see no bruise. It was around my elbow area. It has since moved to my forearm. My arms still feel tight but especially my right arm. I am a 31 year old female.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello

I have studied your case
There is possibility of cellulitis due to soft tissue infection leading to bruise.

I will advise you to do ultrasound of arm and you may need to investigate in form of complete blood count, ESR, CRP

So I will advise you to consult a specialist and do required investigation.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
