Question: My wife is experiencing pain in the left upper arm occasionally from last two years. The pain is like a pin prick. When a point is pressed, the pain occur. Strangely, the point is not the same everytime. It shift to another location,on next occurrence.
Consulted 3 doctors, took ECG, had calcium test and took medicine for that, The pain continues the same way. Since it is left upper arm, is there any connection with heart? She is also suffering from vertigo, and slight thyroid problem.
Could you please help?
