Arm pain everyday?


Question:
For the past two weeks I have been having arm pain in my left arm. Sometimes it is in my shoulder, other times it is in my forearm. It comes and goes quickly, only lasting about thirty seconds. The pain seems to be getting stronger each day. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Thanks!

Answers:
see a doctor
go and check with a doctor first
you might have carpal tunnel or tendinitis in your shoulder...does your hand "fall asleep" after holding a pen ? Have your dr. give you an EMG test...it will tell what type of nerve damage if any that you have
There are a lotof possibilities I'd suppose. One is a small strain or pull on a muscle or ligament that keeps healing and straining, another is you might have a nerve upstream (neck, shoulder) that's getting pinched and sending false signals. re you exercising it enough, or maybe too much?

I'd try massaging your arm and see if you can localize the pain to any specific areas. If you have someone that can rub your back and shoulders to loosen it up that might help too. If it persists and gets worse I would certainly see a doctor.
