Any MD mom please, or anyone who would know? So strange, first time this happens to me... about an hour ago a small vein on my right lower arm started to hurt intermittently (as if someone pokes it w a needle) I am in great health, never had vein issues and don't understand where this is coming from. Did not want to look on Google (I worry) but I did and talks about phlebitis... hope that is not the case. Will it go away on its own? I have pretty slim arms and could always see my veins.Does not look different, just slightly more raised than the one on the other arm... thanks for any feedback. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Sorry, not an MD- but if you live in an area with COVID-19, maybe get a COVID test? There are a lot of weird-ass COVID symptoms that have vascular involvement (like covid toe). https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/from-headaches-to-covid-toes-coronavirus-symptoms-are-a-bizarre-mix1/ [ Reply | More
