Suggest Treatment For Severe Throbbing Pain In The Left Arm
Have a torn rotator cuff which has not bothered me in over a year. Nothing prompted the return of pain, was at the dentist and found I had throbbing pain in the left arm and a just abit in the neck. Hoping this is a rotator cuff issue and not a heart attack pending. I,m 67 and have always been in relatively good health, good eating habits and active in addition to exercise. Shoud I worry?
