I experienced a sudden onset of severe pain in my arm after dipping strawberries in chocolate, which developed into a lump above my elbow. Simultaneously, my vision worsened significantly, leading to a rapid growth of a cataract that I was previously aware of but not concerned about. Additionally, my retina appears detached and swollen. I have a history of shoulder injuries and am blind in one eye from birth. Could these issues be related, and could repairing my elbow and shoulder potentially affect the cataract's size?

What can I do for the red spots and what should I do about my diabetes?
