What Could Be The Cause Of Having Left Arm Pain During Menstrual Cycle?
hello. I am a 38 year old female who has very severe menstrual cramps. The last 3 months or so I have noticed my left arm has been hurting throughout my menstrual cycle. The pain is on the under side of my arm and can get quite painful. Ibuprofen does help to relieve the pain somewhat. What could be the cause of this?

Hi, I feel you need evaluation for your pain . Kindly get a electrocardiogram(ECG
)to rule out can cardiac cause of pain(angina).Pain might be related to injury to joint , muscle or nerve also ,but such a pain should get relieved by painkillers. So i feel that you should consult your physician. Hope it helps.
