Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hello all. I have an embarrasing ??. First how it came to this. Shortly after dx I had a muscle biopsy done on my upper left arm. Since then I have pain in that area that doesn't go away and I can only lift my arm as far as shoulder height (with it out at my side, not upward). Because of not being able to lift my arm I have formed what I believe to be a boil. That is the only thing I can think of that would leak a yellowish puss. I feel that maybe it burst from my arm rubbing together with it and that is why there is puss. Now that isn't as embarrasing as the smell that comes from the puss. No matter how often I clean the area it still smells. I can't really lift my arm enough to see the area, but what I can see is a bunch of little pink spots that itch like crazy. I am going to call my GP and ask to be seen. Has this ever happened to anyone and what if anything can get rid of the smell? I worry when I go out that people can smell it and that bothers me. Thanks for any advice you have, Sherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
