[6] Symptoms may include sudden onset of pain, warmth, redness, blueness and swelling in the arm.
Repetitive motions can cause enlargement of muscles which causes compression of veins. Besides, overuse injury of the upper limbs causes swellings, small bleeding, and subsequent fibrosis which would cause the thrombosis of the subclavian vein, leading to Paget–Schroetter disease or effort-induced thrombosis. [7]
A minority of upper extremity DVTs are due to Paget–Schroetter syndrome, also called effort thrombosis, which occurs in 1–2 people out of 100,000 a year, usually in athletic males around 30 years of age or in those who do significant amounts of overhead manual labor. [69] [147]

Inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD), now more commonly referred to as multisystem proteinopathy (MSP), is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in VCP, HNRPA2B1 or HNRNPA1; it is a multisystem degenerative disorder that can affect muscle, bone, and/or the central nervous system.
