Many years ago I fell into a fence which caused a punture wound about the size of a magic marker into my left bicept. The wound was a direct punture wound which became infected shortly after so the doctor had to cut into the bicept and clean it up all the way to the bone. I later had to have a rubber drain for a few weeks in my arm before it was closed up. It healed fine but the skin goes in on the bicept when I flex the left bicept.
My blood pressure reads high on the left arm but normal on the right.
Could the left arm high BP readings be because of some kind of damage from the punture wound surgery?
