The blood pressure cuff is the description I have used for the beginning as
well. It has perfectly described the feeling around my upper right arm!!
It is so interesting to here all of the different ways of describing the
symptoms we all seem to be having at times. I have always had a difficult
time explaining symptoms to my doctor but some of the phrases and terms
used here have helped me tremendously!!
It is great to have others who understand what is going on.
