What Causes Weakness And Pain In The Left Arm?
I have a weakness in my left arm. It s like a muscle pain in certain positions. I am a 65 yr old female and noticed it months ago in a water aerobics class. Should I call my doctor as it hasn t improved over 3- 4 months. I don t smoke but drink wine . I take medication for thyroid, high bp, high A1C, and lipitor for cholesterol of 215. Thank you.

Hello,
Yes, it is a good idea to see your doctor. Weakness in an arm can come from something easily treatable like a bursitis but it can also come from something more serious so see your doctor as soon as you can to get an exam. Only with an accurate diagnosis can you get treatment.
