What Causes Excess Saliva With Severe Pain In Back And Arm?

I have had constant excess saliva production for about 15 months and in the last month, have added severe soreness and pain in my upper left back and left arm which is not relieved with massage, asprin or tylenol. The pain wakes me up when I move in bed at night and is extremely uncomfortable and sore during the day. Saliva production is not because of dental issues as my dentist tells me everything is fine. Could these two things be related? No other real symptoms from an otherwise healthy 52 year old woman who is 25lbs overweight, size 12.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Some time excessive salivation occurs due to abdominal or gastro intestinal track disorders,one of the most common cause of this is acid reflux.

This can also be presented as pain at upper abdomen or back. I will advice you to consult to your physician for complete evaluation by having blood tests as well as EKG.In meanwhile you may have an antacid like Pantaprazole for relief.

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

Take care

Regards,
