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 get horrible pain in my upper arm only when my arm is bent at the elbow. For example, if I bend my arm to place my hand on my hip I get a horrible pain in my upper arm. I get the same pain when I bend my arm to reach behind my back or just to pull up my pants! It s only the left arm which is bad because I am left handed.
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be suffering from frozen left shoulder as you felt pain when you bend arm to reach behind back or just to pull up pants. Its treatment is mobilization exercises of shoulder. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovering.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
