Suggest Remedy For Severe Tightness In Left Arm
I am having severe tightness in my left arm. Started in my fingers and has progressed up my arm and into my neck. Skin is extremely tender to air and to the touch. Having numbness as well. It feels as though my arm is being squeezed and it throbs as well as having weakness. Any suggestions? Also, I am 43 year old woman.

HI
Well come to HCM
History may be suggestive of some muscular spasm this could be due to cervical spondylosis and for that better to get done some imaging study like X-ray of cervical spine and some time CT imaging may be needed, if this comes positive then condition need to be treated accordingly, if you do not have any other risk factor like diabetes, hypertension, then this is nothing to worry, have a nice day.
