Hi all,
My arm is aching at the moment. I've had it on and off for 4 days. The first day it was really throbbing, but eased off when I had nurofen. The next day it felt heavy and a bit sleepy. Then the I was concentrating on an ache in my calf and thigh and forgot about my arm. Now I'm back worrying about my arm and it is aching from my shoulder to the tips of my fingers.
I keep worrying I've got a blood clot and that it will go to my heart/lungs/brain! I keep telling myself I'm only noticing it because I'm thinking about it. It's not like it's an ache that's stopping me from sleeping or anything. Anyone else have these issues?

I often get random aches which I worry about. It's all part of being hyper aware. Do you think another person would've noticed your arm ache? Like you say it is not stopping you from doing stuff....
