I am some what relieved to see that other people have experienced something similar!
My name is Mel, I'm 22 years old, and am extremely worried. A week and a half ago I was at work when I felt a dull ache in my armpit. I touched it but couldn't feel anything, it wasn't sore to the touch either. Within an hour I couldn't move my arm, I couldn't touch it at all, the pain was pretty horrific. I was nauseous, dizzy, feverish and was having muscle spasms across my back. The muscle spasms in my back stopped after about an hour, but all the other symptoms stayed strong. I went home and tried to relax, but wound up in Emergency that night. They ran blood tests, checking also for venom (apparently these symptoms are very similar to a red back spider bite), to which they found nothing. My white blood cell count is raised, but thats all. What worries me is that I already have cells in my cervix, that are neither malignant, nor benign. Is it possible these have spread and developed? They gave me some heavy pain medication and sent me home, asking me to come back in the morning for an ultra sound. The ultra sound showed nothing besides inflamed tissue around my nodes. They decided they would treat it as an infection and sent me home with more pain meds and some antibiotics. I was told if it wasn't better in 5 days to go back to a doctor. I got movement back in my arm after 4 days and thought all was going well. I knew it was still there, every now and again it aches a little, and is far to sore to touch. I accidentally pressed on it too hard in the shower last night, it made me vomit and almost pass out. I am scared half to death, the doctors keep telling me "this is unusual!" (no kidding, its kind of why I'm here) "we're stumped". If any one has any ideas, please PLEASE let me know, I've had health problems since I can remember, but nothing like this. I'm doing my best not to stress and wind myself up, but its hard when you feel alone and like no one is interested in actually finding the cause for all of this. Please help.
