What Causes Pain In The Medial Vein While Extending The Left Arm?

When I extend my left arm I feel like my medial vein area is either on fire or going to rip out of my arm! I was getting laundry out of the dryer and it about dropped me to my knee s. This has lasted all day today. I do notice a numb sensation around the bottom of my bicep/triceps area as well. I haven t been to active. I m a mid 30 s healthy lady.... Will a heat compress or ice pack help me???

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to the nerves. Generally, a visit with the doctor and a neurological examination is needed to localize the problem.

As for the local compresses, some patients find warm compresses more beneficial and some find the cold compresses helpful. There is no clear cut rule, you can use what you think is helping you most.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
