What Causes A Shooting Pain In Feet And Dull Pain In Arm?

What could be the cause of a sharp intermitten shooting pain in the instep of my left feet. I have also developed a dull pain in my left arm which I feel when I attemp to turn my outstretched hand backwards. I am thinking this may have to do with my heart as it has been feeling sore at times.

Hello,

As this may not be related to heart conditions. In case to clear your doubt an ECG will be good to rule out along with blood pressure measurement.

I think this will be due to two factors - one for leg - degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine and this causes sharp shooting pain. Correction can be done with simple exercises. Two for the arms - can be due to muscle weakness and can also be corrected by shoulder strengthening exercises.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
