Question

my arm has been hurting all day and everyso often my hadn 2 and its only my right arm...could it b because yesterdya or 2 days ago my cat scratched me? and how can i make it go away

Answer 1

sorry probably just your average scratch and tear, there's nothing you can really do for it besides put anti-biotic ointment on it (if it was bleeding, or you can see a scab). otherwise you're going to have to wait it out.

Answer 2

if it's the scratch that's stinging, yeah, it's probably because your cat scratched you...but if it feels more internal like the bone, you may have subconsciously bumped it while you were awake or asleep and you bruised a bone...check and see if there is a bruise on your arm. most likely, the pain will stop hurting in a day or so, but for now you can put ice where it hurts or take some pain reliever like Motrin. if it is the cat scratch, put some disinfectant on it and ice should numb it as well.

Answer 3

It could be many things, but I don't see how it was caused by a cat, unless you got an infection?

If you could describe the pain, we may know if it is muscular, strain, a joint, ligament, tendon etc, or over-use, such as carpal tunnel, so many things?

Off all possibilities, I think repetitive muscle strain comes up most.  Use ice, or a warm bath, whichever is more comfortable.
