Thanks for the query
I understand that you are in severe pain following a complete treatment for kidney infection, however i need a few more details in order to help you
1. I did not understand what you mean by 'upper arm behind my legs', did you mean both your arm and legs hurt? Is it right arm or left?
2. What is the type of pain? dull, sharp, pricking, etc?
3. Is it present through out the day or only at some point?
4. Any difficulty in moving about after this?
Please get back to me, I am awaiting your reply
