The other day i slipped on some ice and landed on my arm. I thought it was fine... but a couple of days on my arm is having surges of pain quite frequently and my veins seem very large specially at the back of my arm as if they arnt emptying.... any ideas on what may be causing this and wether i should consult some one???

if muscle tissue swells as a result of the fall could it be that that swelling is pinching the nerves and is it causing the blood to slow down ans swelling of veins is the result.consult some one or massage the upper part of the arm so that the swelling has somewhere to go.as long as there is edema,the fluid is stagnant and cant move.which is the reason for the massage

I would definately go to a doctor. Any type of pain (especially one that sounds that bad) seems worth checking out. I am not sure what it could be -- dislocated something, pinched nerve...?? Worst case the doctor tells you you are fine but to take advil. Feel better!

chiropracter and a rmt (registered massage therapist) the same thing happened to me but it was my pelvis out of place. so my chiro told me that usualy that happens if you had a fall or something (which i didn't but thats besides the point lol) so maybe for you its your shoulder blade or something that you knocked. and rmt to just loosen up your muscles and stuff. hope you feel better

Sounds like u sprained your arm. u should probably see a doctor...they will look at it and maybe take an xray. u'll be fine, it may not be anything.

Lots of reasons that could cause this but it also is an indicator of heart disease. Please check with a Dr. as better safe than sorry.
