What Can Cause Swelling And Pain In The Arm And Shoulder?
I had pain in my right arm and was put on anti-inflammatory meds and pt. Its better. Now the left arm is acting up and is swelling between shoulder and elbow with a weird spot under the skin. It is painful to move outward away from the body. I also have pain in ankle for no apparent reason. I don t understand why this keeps happening.

Hi,
I have read the details and in my opinion, the problem is probably frozen shoulder - there is limited movement at the shoulder.
The weird spot under the skin is probably a muscle attachment, which becomes prominent in frozen shoulder. Start painkillers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy.
It is a difficult condition to treat and you will have to work hard for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
