Posted on Fri, 30 Dec 2016

Question: I have some beer left shoulder pain that radiates to the Elbow. Now I've just started having severe sharp stabbing pain in my lower left arm I have been to the doctors orthopedic neurosurgeon neurologist I have done everything and still no relief. I have had MRIs cats scans and x-rays and still no results. This pain comes with any movement and I reach for anything that brings on the pain. As long as I let it stay still and no movement the upper arm and shoulder does not hurt. However lately the last 3 nights severe sharp pain has developed in my lower left arm. All of my severe pains are in my left arm that is not related to my heart. Please help. I'm at my wit's end.
