Back in 2011/2012 I had pain deep up inside my right armpit, with swelling through the entire arm right down to my fingers. Doctors took 6 months after passing me around to find I had a blood clot in my upper right thorasic. Because it took them so long to diagnose it they left it as it was too late to clear it and I had bypass veins doing all the work. I was left with permanent swelling and prominent veins showing on my chest.
I can't wear certain types of tops any more because many sleeves are too right.
Earlier this week I had a little discomfort deep inside my right armpit again but didn't think much off it until now. I'm getting discomfort again inside my right armpit. It's not unbearable and seems to be intermittent and infrequent.
I don't know whether to call my GP or just monitor it. I don't want to burden anyone and take away essential care from those who need it, especially with the NHS being stretched right now.
