I have a picc right arm back of arm feels really sensitive and tender...... This morning I felt some relief but suddenly felt the same pain in my lower arm.... I have measured my arm and
Y right is 1/2 inch bigger on the right....
Doesn't feel hot.....

I guess I am panicking about a clot. I have made an appt with my primary at 11 45 .......

Just need some suggestions or reassurance..

If it's red and sensitive it could be cellulitis. Let your primaty decide.

Don't mean to be scary, but when I had a clot (well, 3 clots), my arm just hurt- it wasn't swollen or red or anything else, it just hurt.

I am very glad I made the decision to go to the ER when that pain occurred. Just sayin...
