Is Pain In The Upper Arm A Matter Of Concern?
I woke this am with a pain in my left upper arm. It didn’t seem to bother me a lot during the day but seems worse this evening and it is hard to lift my arm or move it around much. I had trouble taking off my blouse tonight. Can this be something serious?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms you have mentioned might be due to compression of nerves that have occurred during sleep. No need to worry as it will resolve in a week with supportive measures. You can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain. If pain persist even after two days, consult a doctor and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
