Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have strong dull pain (5/10) pain in my left upper arm that radiates to my finger tips leaving them tingling and feeling heavy. Ice has helped but it comes back. It get worse if I let my arm hang. it is debilitating to continue to go about my dialy activities or think clearly for work. It started 24 hours ago.
Hello, In my opinion your symptoms are most probably due to abnormal positioning of your arm during sleep. If I were your treating doctor, I would advise you to stop using the ice, do elbow and shoulder exercise for the next 3 days. Use painkillers if necessary. Hope I have answered all your queries. If you have any further questions I would be happy to help.
