Forearm Pain
I have a pain in my forearm that has been there for a week. No trauma. Some swelling. Attended GP on Tuesday and was prescribed flucloxacillin due to high temperature alongside pain.
Pain has not decreased and today has gotten significantly worse. This is in my forearm, elbow and now also my armpit. There is a constant dull ache and every so often there are extremely sharp shooting pains from forearm right up to armpit. I can't even tense my arm/bicep without significant pain
