Weird swollen area on arm...so scared right now. :(

[anxious_thoughts]

I have my ultrasound today and I’m so nervous. My arm is still sore and the small area is still swollen. However, the swelling isn’t worse or anything. It’s not warm to the touch and no redness. I’m still anxious that it’s a blood clot.

Is it possible that anxiety could worsen the pain?

Yes! It heightens your senses. It can also make you feel pain where you previously had none. It's all in the head, where coincidentally, also the sensation of pain is coming from

Thank you for your message!
That’s so crazy!! Well I came back and the technician told me there’s no blood clot, thank god! But he does see my muscle inflamed so he says it’s a pulled muscle in my forearm causing the swelling. Will continue putting ice and resting.
My doctor will call me tomorrow or sometime this week. Just thankful it’s not what I was fearing!!

Please talk to your doctor about your HA. Otherwise I'm afraid that your anxious brain will soon latch onto another minor body signal and start to convince you that it's a problem.

You’re right. Last night was terrible. I started to get heart worries and for the first time I got a sinking feeling in my chest which I read is common for anxiety. But I’m scared because I never had any heart tests done before.
