It still felt like muscle soreness. My left armpit was very swollen and the vein under my armpit still felt very rigid and very sensitive to touch. I saw my doctor ten days after my first symptoms, and she ordered an immediate ultrasound of my left arm. It showed a âmassiveâ blood clot in my subclavian vein. My doctor sent me immediately to the Emergency Room which was on the next floor. The doctor there ordered a CT scan that showed 5 clots in both sides of my lungs. They also did a heart ultrasound that was normal, as were my blood pressure and heart rate.
