so I had my mammogram and ultrasound this morning and they were both negative.  Still have what looks like a bruise (two weeks now), swelling, pain, and now pain in my arm on that side as well.  And all that squeezing from the mammogram almost killed me.  What now?

    See if they will do a skin biopsy.

    I'm with Leisa on this.  I would push for a skin biopsy.  Your symptoms sound very similar to mine at diagnosis.  I had what appeared to be a bruise along with skin thickening; however, my mamogam also showed 'architectural distortion' and calcifications, but I was immediately referred to a surgeon for a skin biopsy.

    Good Luck!
