I Woke Up With Pain In My Right Arm. It

default
Posted on Sun, 9 Aug 2020
Question: I woke up with pain in my right arm. It hurts most when I use my ring and pinky finger. I spent the previous day moving things in my sons room, so I figured I hurt it then. However, this evening my hand seems swollen. Should I be concerned about a blood clot?
