Suggest Treatment For Upper Arm Pain
I have been having upper arm pain for about 3 weeks. Did acupuncture but that didn t seem to help. The only thing that helps at this point is voltaren and Motrin muscle and joint medication. I m not sure what caused this pain or how to fix it. Should I see my physician immediately or can this be repaired on its own?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, you may want to consider seeing your doctor for an assessment since the pain has been ongoing for 3 weeks.
The cause of the pain needs to be determined by physical examination. Imaging by x ray may be needed.
It is possible that one of the anti inflammatory medications may be continued eg voltaren or motrin. This would depend on the cause found
I hope this helps
