I had a hard lump in my upper arm, it looked like a vein that was spasming, then it went away and now I have some very very mild discomfort in my underarm. What the hell is that? I'm FREAKING OUT; please help. I'm very frightened.

:yeahthat: Get to a doc to see what it is. We can't see it and can't diagnose.

I was just scared it was an embolus or something like that. But the pain in my neck and hand says it my have been a muscle/nerve spasm or something like that. I think I might be dead by now if it were a clot.:trout:

That's why it's important to get it checked out by a doctor asap - there are so many things it could be - absolutely anything at all! Please go and get a medical opinion as soon as you can - the conclusion you have made is not necessarily accurate...

I called a Dr. I know, and he said it's probably a spasm of my muscle. I just thought it was too small of a lump to be that, but it was by my bicep. I thought it was a vein b/c of the shape, but when I push on my underarm, I get pain in my neck, so that's probably it. I was just freaking out a bit, b/c I thought it was a clot. I was sitting there, waiting to become sob and fall over LOL:lol2: I think I was over reacting just a little bit.
