Circulatory problem, maybe blood clot in arm



Re: Circulatory problem, maybe blood clot in arm

'allo,

See post "Tennis elbow?" maybe a week or so ago.

Pain in right arm. Thought it might be TE or RSI at
first. Much worse in last week.

Lie in bed on back at nite, arms by my side. Get
periodic pain in muscle at elbow, upper arm. Pain
in many, many positions with arm in motion.

I've long had poor circulation. Hands, feet get real
cold, real fast in winter.

History of stroke in the family.

Hands are more-or-less red as lobsters. Right hand
seems to get colder than left.

I'm thinking maybe I've got a blood clot in right arm,
possibly as well as a general circulatory problem
that might merit treatment.

To get a pro med opinion on such issue, what kinda
"specialist" should I consult? A "Vascular Surgeon"?
A "Hematologist"?

I look in the ins. providers directory for something
like "Circulatory Specialist" and I get Nothing, Nada,
and Zilch ...

Thanks,
Puddin'
