Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have stabbing pain in left flank. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like trauma , peripheral nerve compression , diabetic nerve damage , multiple sclerosis or pernicious anemia . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to hand and arm , drink plenty of water , do light stretching exercises and eat healthy . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , nerve conduction test along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe nerve supplement , physical therapy , anti inflammatory or may refer you to endocrinologist for diabetes .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
