What Causes Pain From Armpit To The Wrist?
I have a pain in my right arm that starts under the arm pit down the arm ending just above the wrist. there is also some small bruises that appeared under my skin and I didn t bump into anything. It feels like there is a piano wire in my arm that is pulled tightly. I m wondering if this is something I should be overly concerned with or will it go away on its own

If you have some small bruises and blisters along a line for a few days - then probably you are suffering from herpes zoster infection.It normally goes on it's own but for pain relief you should consult your doctor
