Question 1

my left arm is so achy?

Accepted Answer

Arm pain: Arm pain may be a muscle-skeletal  condition (strain, contusion, tendontis, bursitis) or a neurological condition (carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome or cervical spine myelopathy='pinched nerves')  if symptoms persist it is best to get seen by your provider.  Rarely is arm pain a 'circulation' problem.

Question 2

presistant pain in top half of left arm?

Accepted Answer

Persistent arm pain: If there is no history of trauma (ie a fall or twisting injury) then persistent single sided arm pain could have several causes. Is the pain worse at night? Worse on movement or at rest?

There could be many different causes but without a proper examination and a history taken it is difficult to give you a proper answer.

I agree with the other answers to seek advice from a doctor.

Go see your doctor if the twitching continues
