1FinickyOne Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Upper arm [where you might get an injection] a very strong dull pain... sometimes it really hurts usually I can find a spot when sitting and resting... where there is no pain, but anything active can cause it to hurt... And now it is creeping up toward my shoulder... I have had it before but not as severe... What can this be and any home cure possible? I will try tiger balm...

lopburi3 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Which arm? If left then need to rule out angina (heart) Edited February 18, 2021 by lopburi3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Arms are susceptible to "pinched nerves", sometimes from sleeping on them or sometimes because of a joint or tendon inflammation. You can try NSAID's for a few days and see if it goes away. As Lopburi3 notes, left arm pain can be a symptom of cardiac issues. Worth it to get a check-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctxa Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I see many MDs here in TVF.... Don't believe anything they tell you, because doing a diagnosis over the internet can potentially turn out into an absolutely incorrect diagnosis. Go to a doctor and have it checked by him. Else you may make a costly assumption that it is something, when it is not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FinickyOne Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) this is surely something muscular, it is sore... possibly nerve??

RichardColeman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I get a lot of issues like this purely from resting my arm under the wife's head sometimes when we sleep. Wait till you all get your covid jabs - my AZ jab felt like the doctor threw a javelin in it for a week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 There are several things it could be. If it persists you need to see an orthopedic doctor. This is not something that can bw diagnosed online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain positions no pain at all... motion is not good... Any recommendations for a good orthopedic doc in Chiang Mai? Could it be arthritis? And how do they check for that?

Sheryl Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 https://chanakarn.com/th/ Arthritis is I think unlikely. Problem in the cervical spine compressing a nerve is a possibility So is referred pain from carpal tunnel entrapment. And many other things. The first step is a physical examination by a skilled ortho. A great deal can be determined from that alone.Delending on findings, xray, possibly MRI may be ordered. Sometimes nerve conduction studies but it very much depends on what the differential diagnoses are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use a computer a lot? I had a similar issue when I took up painting. It caused tension in one arm. I could not sleep on that arm. I fixed it over a couple of weeks by doing some stretching exercises I found on youtube. Those exercises mainly involved the hand but they have an effect over the whole arm as everything is connected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend a lot of time typing on computer and clicking too... I have changed over the mouse to my right hand and am trying to limit the time... stretching sounds good.
