Suggest Treatment For Pain And Weakness In The Arms
my left arm muscle (upper forearm) weak & becomes painful when sitting down for a long time period. xray did not show anything. I have been treated by chiropractor and massage treatment for the last four months. Possible I may have torn a muscle. Diagnosis as arthritis in the neck area (left side)
The symptoms can be related to a torn muscle. I recommend using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplements. I recommend to use warm compresses for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
