What An Be Done When My Right Bicep Is Swollen With Mild Redness On The Skin, And Pain?

my right bicep is swollen, a mild redness on the skin, and painful. I am on chemotherapy. I had biopsies done (march 24) and the BP cuff was so tight it made my hand go numb. It was like this for 2 1/2 hrs. There was a bruise from this experience in same area now swelling and painful. This past Wednesday i had an infusion. The IV was in the crook of my elbow and I held my arm straight out, not relaxing it during treatment. Thursday morning I woke up to this pain.

Hello,

You are suffering from right bicep swelling with mild redness on the skin. Numbness and swelling is due to BP cuff that was tight. Presently, you have a bruise, pain and swelling. You are suggested to apply ointment Soframycin on the bruise for relief. In case of blood clots below the skin apply ointment Thrombophob on the affected area, it will give relieve.

Applying cold packs to the biceps for 20 minutes and doing the same several times a day will give also give relief. Get clinically examined before taking analgesics for getting rid of pain, swelling and inflammation to rule out any blood clot in the vessels. You may have to get a few tests and investigations done.

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

Regards,
