How would you tell the difference between a blood clot and muscular strain / pain??
My left arm bicep muscle feels sore, and to the part where it bends. I woke up from a nap Thursday evening feeling this. The only thing I did the whole day was go out with my nana and we went shopping. I know I carried my purse on that arm and a shopping basket . And then later at another store I put clothes to try on over my forearm and had my arm held up. I just don't understand why it's sore feeling. I don't have any other symptoms except for muscular like pain and soreness on my bicep. It feels more sore when I bring my forearm to my bicep like you would do if your were doing arm curls with a weight. My hand doesn't feel tingly or cold and my left arm looks the same as the other and no redness or anything I can see. Just soreness. Oddly enough when I woke up with this I had read something about a woman dying from a blood clot stroke after she fell at a modeling shoot. Well now all I can think about is a blood clot in my arm. Everyone is already rolling their eyes when I say I'm scared about a blood clot so I haven't been to the doctor. So this started Thursday night and I still am feeling this soreness. :( I mean obviously no one here can know for sure but I'm scared and I don't know what to think to calm down. I keep trying to tell myself it's probably muscular but I'm stuck on this blood clot fear. Ugh.:weep: and yes I looked up symptoms to a blood clot and the muscular pain soreness is what is scaring and fueling my fear more. I'm not sure if my arm is weak because I can still carry stuff but my bicep will start to feel sore while doing it.
Also, I'm not on any medications or birth control. I'm 21, but I know these things can happen to anyone. Haven't had any recent surgery or falls or anything broken. I just woke up like this. My arm also feels better when I put my hand over my bicep. It makes me not feel the soreness or pain. As well as having my arm bent seems to make it feel less sore .. Which I guess would be imitating how I was holding things that day. Trying to rationalize but that what if it's serious this time or I'm right about something this time keeps happening.
