Left arm pain

[anxietymadman123]

Does anyone else get random left arm pain?

Sometimes so intense and it’s scary? I get it so random and it can be so bad, or last for hours, I do think it helps a tiny bit not thinking about it but I’m so scared but its been like this for 2months every single day, doctors said last month it’s a trapped nerve I’m so fed up and feel sometimes I don’t want to be here I wish I was living a normal life and enjoy things but I can’t and it’s bringing me down

Hi anxietymadman, when you do get that random left arm pain, think back

to what you might have done the day before. Overuse of that arm can cause

that trapped nerve to get irritated causing pain.

It's not your heart xx

Ye but it’s 2 months straight, it comes so randomly xx

Follow up with the doctor who thought it might be a trapped nerve.

A Rheumatologist might be able to help you through physical therapy..

The fact that it comes randomly is something you should share with the

doctor. He needs to put the pieces of the puzzle together. You shouldn't

have to worry when you have the pain as well as worry when you may get

it back again. Good Luck

But it doesn’t sound heart related?

Hi again...I went back 3 years to your posts...where you posted you had chest

pain and occasional arm pain when exercising. You stated you have 20 EKGs

all were normal. Your Age was 19 at that time.

I'm not a doctor but would suggest you see your cardiologist once again if you

haven't in a while and have him do an EKG.

I think this is Health Anxiety that you suffer from with a focus on your heart.

Let us know what the doctor says. xx

Trust me if you had heart problems the pain would be constant and you would have had a heart attack 2 months ago! Why at 22 would you have heart problems? Nearly all victims are middle aged and older and either have had an unhealthy lifestyle for decades, other serious medical issues, or through age itself.

There are numerous other less serious things that could be causing this and you need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
