10 Blood Clot In Arm Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Cramp
A cramp is an involuntary and sudden muscular contraction where the muscle shortens. While it is temporary and usually does not cause any damage, it can be debilitating and cause paralysis-like immobility. It usually resolves on its own after several minutes or hours.
Cramps can occur in both smooth and skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscle cramps can occur when there is electrolyte imbalance, muscle fatigue, or low oxygenation of the tissue. A blood clot in the arm can also cause cramps in the arm as blood flow to some of the muscles in the arm is obstructed.
