Pain in the arm

Hi all

Sorry for so many posts and questions. I have had the worst of my fibro pain in my right arm. It can really hurt if I make sudden movements. It's in the upper part of my arm and feels more like it's the bone causing the pain. Is this common?

Sadly fibro can affect any part of the body in many ways so I'm sure many people have had what you discribe. I hope it passes soon, if not make an appointment to see your doctor.

Exactly same mine, in any action sharp pain give me a shock , I had steroid injection because of the inflammation in the tissue the nerve squeez between the musle and it makes painful with any movement. Go to gp and ask for injection as it is the only treatment 😞

Hi I get pain in my left arm mainly and sometime the right. It seems to come from my shoulder and goes all the way down to the elbow. the pain is like a burning hot pain but then it stabs sharp pains. I can't use the arm very much certainly not to reach for anything and need help to put a coat, cardigan anything like that on. I went to the doctors who examined the arm and shoulder and said that the shoulder was fine the pain is definitely fibro and was coming from my neck and down my arm.

It does settle every now and then but then it flares up and nothing helps.

Hope you can sort yours out, xxx
