Hello Sir, You are having pain and swelling left arm, shoulder and back of neck, it might be due to muscle sprain you are having , this can be relieved by applying muscle relaxing cream like diclofenic cream gently and taking analgesic +muscle relaxant( Diclofenic sod.+Chorzoxazone ) orally 2-3 times daily. There is a pain in your left arm, so you must go for your cardiac check up also, do not ignore your left arm pain to rule out any possible cardiac ailment if you are above 40 yrs of age.
