Hi folks

Does anybody else suffer from acute spells of a painful left arm and shoulder in stressful situations I have noticed this increasingly the pain radiates from shoulder down arm to hands and fingers

I too suffer from this, pretty much all the time. My hands fall asleep too depending on how I have them positioned when I'm lying down. I also have a tendency to lean on my elbow when I'm sitting watching TV and on my iPad which makes the whole painful left arm thing much worse.

Same here. I suspected a lurgy that has lasted two months. Other aching pains through out my body. Debilitating at times, like now. Doctor did not think so. Tennis Elbow & Frozen Shoulder diagnosed. Possible repetitive strain injury from excessive cycling? Age 63. See also:

I have suffer with this for about 10 years I finally when to the doc he gave me a Cortizone injection that was in June on this year 2015 the pain relief was instant but I the last few weeks pain has come back I was told this was due to a calcium buildup in the joint of my shoulder so I will be going back to see if I can have key joke surgery to stop this pain go c your doctors everyone hope this helps .
