Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
over a 6 month period I lost one and a half stone in weight and developed severe pain in my upper left arm. After a ct scan and 3 cameras nothing sinister was found. The weight loss has stopped although I haven t gained any but the arm pain has got worse now stopping me sleeping every night
I think you may need to check the thyroid function also. Take anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen for pain. Do an MRI of the arm to check for possible pathologies.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
