Suggest Treatment For Sharp, Shooting Pain In My Left Arm

I am experiencing a sharp, shooting pain in my left arm. Mostly this pain is from my elbow to my fingers, occasionally the pain shoots from my neck/ shoulder- blade area. If it is no shooting, it is a throbbing. It is waking me up and I am slightly nauseated.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are probably having cervical spondylitis with neurological symptoms. X ray of cervical spine are helpful in diagnosis. MRI of cervical spine is helpful to see compression. Its treatment is Diacerine and glucosamine. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful in pain relief. Rest is advisable till pain relief, after that neck exercises are helpful. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
