What Does Sharp Pain Between The Shoulder And Elbow Indicate?

i have deep aching pain in my right arm between my shoulder and elbow. Ibuprophen does not help the pain. Sometimes i put heat on my arm which helps to make it feel better but the pain is still there. The pain usually goes away after several days. I first noticed it when i sleep on my right side. Now i try not to sleep on my right side. I am post chemo and now on maintenance. Thanks

Hello,

I do not know maybe some cancer of any part, or there are many indications nowadays for it. Chemotherapy usually will have a lot of pain, and you need to be put on painkillers like Diclofenac, Tramadol, Morphine, Pethidine etcetera at least to tolerate your pains.

Since these are prescription drug talk to your doctor about it and get the above drugs prescribed. Do not misuse it as it as addictive potential.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
