Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain And Arm Pain

I have shoulder and arm pain on my left hand side. I developed a bruise on my left arm today. The pain is worse in the mornings and the arm pain is worse when I need to bend over to pick something up. I ve been icing it and taking motrin for the last 2 weeks. What specialty should I make an appointment to visit. Thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shoulder pain and arm pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle spasm , nerve compression or heart problem like angina .

Doctor may prescribe isosorbide nitrate , aspirin , sedative along with beta blockers . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon in case of bone muscle problem .
