Left arm pain

[Dudula]

I have a bad pain in my left lower arm for the last 5 weeks. It seems to be worse in the morning. I haven't injured it and don't understa why it hurts for no reason. I'm 36 years old and work as a nanny. Please help

Have you lifted any of your children up awkwardly? But probably didn't think so at the time?

Pls go to the Gp, this has been going on for 5 weeks and is not getting any better, something is not quite right. ??? trapped nerve springs to mind.

Take care, hugs, xxx

see a GP.

the above says:

"Left arm pain that gets worse with activity and improves with rest should prompt immediate medical attention, as this may be a sign of heart disease -- especially if the pain is deep and the arm is not tender to the touch. Left arm pain that appears suddenly while at rest, such as when watching television, could also be due to an unstable heart condition. Finally, if the arm pain is accompanied by any combination of chest pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, passing out, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, abdominal bloating, cough or wheezing, seek medical attention immediately."

It sounds very like carpal tunnel syndrome. Best advice see your G.P. Have faith if it is, it is easy to treat, by either steroid injection or out patients surgery.
