I have the weirdest medical issues... WTF?

So, I noticed after working out yesterday afternoon that my left forearm was quite swollen. At first, I thought, man, this working out stuff really works, but it kept getting bigger. I gave it a few hours, but the swelling didn't go down. There's a lot of fluid in my forearm, as I can press my fingers into my arm and it retains the imprint for a good 10 seconds before it goes away. I tried ice and compression, but it didn't go away.

So, I went to the doc. Two different doctors had no idea what caused it. I got x-rays and an ultrasound looking for blood clots, but everything was clear. Blood test came back and all my levels were well-within normal. So, I'm now taking a little ibuprofen, trying some heat and ice, and going back on Friday for a followup. And they told me no more working out until it goes away.

WTF?
