Pain in arm?


Question:
I kep getting rumbling in my left arm just above the elbow. Sometimes it feels like my stomach is growling in my muscle. I have had some neck surgery. Could this be a sign that I am getting some problems with some discs that were repaired in my neck. I have fushion from C3 through C7. Also my lower back hurts down my spine. Is this another possible surgery. Sometimes this arm will get a big cramp in it also.

Hi Aggie,

I'm not a doctor, but I , like you have been through the Back War! I broke my back, the doctor knicked my Spinal Column Sheath and that put me in the hospital for 2 months with my head in a vice and 6 operations to correct the error. I now have permanent Drop Foot (no sensation or strength in the right leg). I FEEL your pain!

I have experienced weird things like a toe that suddenly started twitching for no reason, but there WAS a reason: I was experiencing a nerve impulse that was causing spasms.
I called my neurosurgeon ASAP and he did tests and put me on a nerve channeling drug, Neurontin. This has actually helped me regain sensation in partsof my leg!

GET TO THE DOCTOR! They are not as knife-happy as they used to be and Pharmacology has come along way- it doesn't necessarily mean more surgery (poor honey!), there really COULD be a magic pill for you!

Also, take a good multi-vitamin- you could be low on Potassium which causes muscle cramping. It's been very hot and Potassium gets depleted very quickly through perspiring.

I too will say a prayer for you and PLEASE let me
know how you're doing! (you can see my email on the contacts area)

You Poor Dear, I Don't know what is happening here, but If I were you, I'd get to my doctor ASAP. But I Am Going To Say a Prayer for you Tonight Also......
Rumbling could possibly be muscle spasm or maybe joint creaky-ness. The muscle cramping along with this wierd symptom would send me back to the specialist doctor. Health care nowadays is a process that you must push forward for yourself. Good luck with that one.
