What Causes Shoulder And Arm Pain With Tightness After Exertion?
Am on dialysis, fistula in left upper arm. About a week and a half ago, I fell back onto some stairs landing against left shoulder and scraping shoulder blade area. Since then have been having feelings of tightness sometimes followed by pain in front of shoulder and down left arm. Don t believe it to be part of fall but it seems to be coming more often and is making me concerned because I ve noticed it sometimes comes after any slight exersion such as walking or unpacking groceries, etc.
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you are having muscular pain left shoulder. But I think you should rule out heart causes first because as you said you felt the pain after slight exertion. After ruling out heart pain and considering it as muscular pain it's treatment is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B And C help in recovery. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
