What Could Painful Bruise With Lump And Chronic Pain In Arm Be?

I'm 18 years old, healthly active female. Last night I woke up to chronic pains in my upper left arm, I looked at it, and a bruise was forming that had a lump under it, it was very red around the area and it had a horrible burning sensation. I do not have animals in the house, I hadn't hit that arm that day or done any harsh physical activity.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to hematoma.
Most commonly, hematomas are caused by an injury to the wall of a blood vessel, prompting blood to seep out of the blood vessel into the surrounding tissues. It can be also caused by microtrauma that maybe you didn't noticed.

I suggest using an anti inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
