What Causes Severe Pain In Upper Arm?

I have been suffering with the muscle of my upper arm being in severe pain. Sometimes if I move in an awkward direction, it seems like the muscles lock up. At that point it is very painful. My doctor has given me muscle relaxer two times but it doesn t seem to help. A young lady told me to rub with Witch Hazel and Vick s Salve which seem to help a little. If I miss one night, the pain is severe again. Help.

Hi Welcome to HCM
I have gone thru you query regarding your pain in upper arm .
Pain any where in the body is a common feature in daily life of all of us It is not just happening but is the outcome of our wrong food habits and faulty life style & lack of proper exercise.
Fried , fast foods , tea, coffee ,alcohol ,smoking all derail equilibirium of the three factors - vat -(,AIR) pitt (BILE ) & kaph (PHELGM) and spoil the process of our digestion system Imbalance of any one deralils the system and leads us to unwellness and causes constipation which causes Vat imbalance in our system ,besides many health problems . So let it not happen by taking balanced diet including fiber , vitamins ,minerals , proteins in natural form --grean leafy veges ,fruit , ginger, garlic milk ,cheese . & lot of water ,Turmeric a level spoon in a cup of hot milk at bed time and fenugreek powder 1 spoon with water in the morning also help in aleviating pains Regularity inyour life style , proper exercise and rest will strengthen immune systme and help you lead trouble free life as for as your health is concerned
Vat -Air is responsible for pains in any part of body
Apply hot pack to loosen muscles and improve stiffness.
Staying immobile for more than a day or two actually can be harmful because it can decondition the muscles .
Once you are feeling well enough and your doctor gives permission, practice stretching exercises to both relieve pain and improve your flexibility.
It's best to perform these exercises after warming up muscles with a warm shower, bath, or towel.
A degenerative process can cause radiating pain, as well as numbness and weakness in your shoulders, arm, and hand ,adjust your activity level to what you can comfortably handle. As you improve, gradually increase your activity level back to normal .
Apply gel - pain reliever
For instant relief Take a half cup of water, pour 4 drops of Homeopathic Chamoilla 30 liquid Make 3 doses of this mixture Take 3doses / in 15 minutes gap
