64 year old woman, lung cancer pt (renal clear cell carcinoma that has spread to lungs), Hypertensive-takes Valsarten HCT @ 160mg daily. Chief complaint is pain in her right arm that radiates to scapula. Has been to the hospital and ECG showed a anterior left fasticular block. She says the doctors didn't do anything for her at all except giver her perc's which she won't take. Her family doctor prescribed Voltarin, she had an adverse reaction to it and stopped taking it. Pain has been going on for approx. 3 weeks. Now her right arm is almost paralyzed, no other paralysis CVA or TIA signs or symptoms, no altered LOC, no headaches, no N/V. When asked if she can remember the onset of her pain, she said she bumped her arm, but nothing too hard. BP in affected arm is 160/90, BP in left arm is 130/80. I don't have any other info right now, but will update.
