What Causes Sharp Stabbing Pain The Arm?
I m 24 years old, 5 5 and weigh about 140. I don t smoke, drink occasionally and I workout 4 times a weak. So over all pretty good health. The past two days I have had a sometimes sharp but achy pain in my left arm. From my elbow down to the top of my hand. My arm will also feel like it s getting hot from the inside, similar to a burning sensation. I have been a little light headed but not enough that prevents me from standing or siting up. My concern is should I make an appoint for the doctor or go to the hospital or wait?
