Question 1

can a picc line cause arm pain and lil headaches that come n go i had it on the eigth and it was taken out on the ninth. but i get shooting pains arms?

Accepted Answer

Should not: Normally there should not be any problems with the picc line when it's in or when it's taken out.  Sometimes we do see problems such as infection, small skin nerve injuries, blood clots.  Best to have it checked!

Question 2

what causes a headache to last 18 months with out stopping and also causes dizziness and severe arm pain? thank you

Accepted Answer

Needs more eval: Most "regular" headaches don't last that long or fit that description.  I'd suggest you see your doctor to get a thorough evaluation.  Good luck.

Question 3

what causes facial tingling, arm pain and headache on the left side?

Accepted Answer

See below: Symptoms such as this suggest a possible neurological condition. A neurologist would be the best type of doctor to see for these symptoms.  This should be dealt with sooner rather than later.

Question 4

i get really bad headaches alongside left arm pain and heart palpitations. what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

A full work up: Severe headaches should be evaluated with a full exam, + or - imaging like a ct or mri. Left arm and palp needs attention too. A holter or event recorder to assess the rythm and correlate it with symtoms. Full battery of labs.A review of the meds you take including any suplements and over the counter meds . Echocardiogram or stress test as indicated.

Question 5

can c5-c5 thecal sac indention cause right arm pain, weakness & the hand to be frozen cold? can it cause constant dizziness & balance issues headaches

Accepted Answer

Insufficent data: Please repost: Are you referring to an MRI? If so, please state. Do you mean "indentation"? If so, indentation by what? Indentation of the thecal sac by itself is only an incidental finding. What is indenting it is what's important. Also, you posted "C5-C5." Do you mean C4-C5 or C5-C6? Please also state how the doctor who ordered the test answered your question; or, if you haven't asked, why not.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: The pseudotumor cerebri certainly can cause the headaches. Have you been evaluated for polymyalgia rheumatica or temporal arteritis which can cause elevation of crp? A rheumatologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you for the inflammatory process if present. For pseudotumor a neurologist, neurosurgeon and ophalmologist  may be involved in treatment and follow-up care.
