Suggest Treatment For Severe Upper Arm Pain In An Elderly Person
I am having upper arm pain. It is more painful at night when I lay down then during the day. I use a treadmill about 4 times a week for exercise. I am 67 years old. This started about 5 months ago. I can go about my daily work with some pain but it gets more painful when I lay down at night.
