How Can Constant Pain In The Left Arm Be Treated?

My left arm has been aching since before the new year, It s always mid-way on my upper arm, altho sometimes it radiates down to my elbow and sometimes radiates up to my shoulder and sometimes both ways. I brought it to my doctors attention and he suggested I get on this site for physical therapy exercises.

Hi,

You need to undergo some sort of investigation like cervicothoracic X-ray and Vitamin B12 level before coming to any confirmed diagnosis.

For temporary pain relief tablet-Dan MR can be taken. Hot compression can also be helpful. Orthopedic consultation would be helpful after the above investigations.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
