What Causes Throbbing And Burning Pain From Shoulder To Wrist?
I am having severe throbbing burning pain both up to the shoulder and down to the wrist after a left arm anticubal blood draw today. What s causing this pain and how can I aleveate it? I am using 15mg morphine for my back pain but it does not even touch the arm pain. Just makes me cry it hurts so bad. I told the phlebotomist that there was severe burning upon entering my arm with the needle today. She said she thought (she) got all the alcohol off but it wasn t an alcohol kind of burning pain.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder.
I see that you are using painkiller to relieve the pain.
I recommend to maintain the shoulder immobilized to prevent further damage of the nerve.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
