Having Soreness & Pain In The Muscles Of Right Arm After Having A Spider Bite
I was bitten by a spider and the symptom that I experienced was of mild tendon and muscle soreness starting in the arm that was bitten. However through the day the pain and soreness moved from the right arm to the right shoulder and chest and then moved to the left shoulder and chest then went away completely. I was wondering what spider could have cause this?

Hello Welcome to HCM,
Spider bites are actually rare occurrences and bites from most spiders cause local redness, irritation and pain that usually can be treated at home. These local reactions usually resolve without treatment over a period of 7-10 days.
I would suggest you to follow Wash the site of the spider bite well with soap and water.
Apply a cool compress or ice pack over the spider bite location.
Over the counter pain relievers may be used to relieve symptoms. Thank you.
