Hello,
You are suffering from
shoulder pain, to cure it you will have to get the cause cured. Shoulder pain can be due to a
referred pain from the neck or a pinched nerve,
frozen shoulder or trapped nerve,
brachial neuritis. The upper left arm pain may be due to a problem in the bones, muscles, ligaments or tendons in the shoulder,
rotator cuff tear or tendonitis.
It may be indicative of arthritis, pancreatitis, symptom of heart attack , stroke or dislocation or fracture post injury. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, to detect any cardiac problems, developing CAD, any chronic disease, etc., that needs urgent medical support and treatment.
