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 numbness in my left arm around the elbow joint. Also above this area it us sore to touch. I get pains in my arm lower down and in my arm pit as well. What could this be. Also the numbness has gotten worse along with soreness over past few weeks.
I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pain your arm. I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.
Another possibility of vascular occlusion,for this you may need colour Doppler.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
