[|Human|] I went to my doctor late wednesday after noon and had my blood pressure checked, the cuff was very tight when pumped up and in fact the CMA pumped it even tighter to the point it kind of hurt. Thursday morning I had a spot the size of a half dollar that felt like I had slept wrong on it on the inside part of my upper arm. Friday morning my upper arm hurts so bad I cnt stretch it out, reach for things in front of me or above me. I have trouble getting a jacket on or off or pulling my pants up It feels muscle related but is extremely painful. If I let my arm hang down at my side it hurts and it is weak feeling. Ive never had this before, what can I do?
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be related to a nerve compression. It could be related to compression during sleep too, after staying in a wrong position. I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a nerve conduction study to examine the nerves of your arm. Some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate) would also help exclude other causes like inflammation. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
