What Could Cause Pain In Throat, Under The Left Arm Pit And Night Sweats?
I have a history of acute, bilateral PE s. I was taken off work for it 2 years ago. 5 months ago treated for 2 episodes of DIT s, (stroke).1 week ago I accidently injured my left knee by severely spraining it. ( popped it out of joint) I now have developed pains below my throat and under my left armpit and severe night sweats... I m concerned that I have developed PE s again in the lung. Our local hospital here has no CT scan equipment. I am presently on EI and cannot afford the blood thinners... What is your advice?

you don't need a CT scan for that ultrasound will do which is cheaper and no radiation which is sensitive in detecting pleural effusions
