What Causes Chest And Arm Pain During Urination?

My elderly mother complains that her chest and arms hurts when she urinates. The pain shoots down to her hands and stops when she is through urninating. Could this be a symptom of something else? She says she has a kidney infection but I wonder if she means bladder infection. Although, she says it does not hurt when she pees.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Neither kidney infection nor bladder infection can cause chest pain and arm pain while urination.
These infections will cause burning and painful micturation, but she is not excreting having all these symptoms, so no need to worry for infection.
Urination is considered as moderate heavy exertion.
So basically she is having chest and arm in on moderate heavy exertion. So we should first rule out heart diseases for this.
So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry for this chest and arm pain.
Sometimes, simple musculoskeletal pain due to awkward position while urination can also cause similar pain.
So don't worry, she will be alright. Better to first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
