Suggest Remedy For Swelling In The Arms And Hand

My arm and hand has been swollen over a week now, I went and saw a doctor and they referred me to specialist. Whenever I straighten my arm it feels like it s tearing or when I try and open a door. It s only getting worse my fingers are now swollen. The OAU. Runs through my armpit bicep forarm and hand. Advil and ice isn t keeping the swelling down or the pain.
