Question 1

i have a pea sized lump an inch below my elbow on my right arm. tender to the touch, it sometimes burns. what is it, and should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Tender or painful bumps beginning recently could represent infection, especially if red or growing.  Get it looked at.

Question 2

right arm aches and burns. shoulder elbow wrist and hand hurt on and off. look and feel normal. muscle pains too.line of pain switches front to back.

Accepted Answer

UnCertain: There are many possibilities. This could be a muscle, like fibromyalgia, it could be arthritis, or could be another syndrome. It would be best if you ask your physician to help clarify this and possibly send you to a rheumatologist.

Question 3

why do my veins burn in my right arm?

Accepted Answer

Doubt veins.: Veins rarely cause pain unless they are inflamed(phlebitis) or have a clot in them.  This does not seem to be your problem. I would look for another source of the problem such as carpal tunnel .  You may want to follow up with a hand surgeon.

Question 4

right arm kind of achs/numb ,heart burn?

Accepted Answer

No: Heart burn will not cause right (or left) arm numbness. This is a nerve (as in neurology) symptom. If it goes away with change in position, then it's a trivial symptom you can ignore. If it persists when you move about, you will need testing done to see why your nerve or nerve root is acting up.

Question 5

cooking burn on right arm is now surrounded by large red, warm-to-the touch, patch of skin.  does this signify an infection and what is to be done about it?

Accepted Answer

Burn: Did you just burn it or has it been awhile since the burn. It isn't uncommon to have red, warm skin right after the burn takes place. If it isn't a fresh burn and there is redness, swelling, tenderness, warmth, swollen lymph nodes, or red streaking - those can be signs of infection.  Consider a telemedicine or virtual health eval with your doctor to get a better idea.

Question 6

right shoulder blade pain. when i sleep wrong i wake up with burning sensation in right arm and numb burn in thumb. i don't long hours of hard labor.

Accepted Answer

Shoulder pain: Your nerves that innervate your arm and hand are being irritated by your cervical verterbrae. Get help from an orthopedist or neurologist.

Question 7

im 24.since 2weeks i feel tingles in all rightarm. now my upper arm hurts alittle &ifeel a burn sensation & neck pain.could it be arm artery disease?

Accepted Answer

Cervical nerve root: More likely a pinched nerve in the neck. (Cervical radiculopathy). Viral infection can do this too (shingles) Do you have a skin rash? Did you injure your neck? There is an easy way to check for blood flow issues (does your radial pulse go away when you lift your arm up? If when you tilt your head toward your shoulder do you get pain or electrical like sensation on the same side ? (pinched nerve)

Question 8

the back side of my left arm burns really bad when touched by anything.  can't see anything wrong with my arm.

Accepted Answer

Could be nerve: Inflammation. Get tested for diabetes or neuropathy . Give us feedback!

Question 9

my upper left arm burns by its not burnt and it feels numb and it hurts?

Accepted Answer

Paresthesia : You don’t mention a rash, so probably not shingles, though still possible. Could be due to a compressed nerve in you neck sending annoying signals down your arm. If it continues or worsens, see your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 10

wake up pain in left shoulder blade/ arm then will have pain thru out the day. when touched there feels stabbing then burns. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve?: Sounds like you may have a pinched nerve or a radicular problem which is causing pain radiating
down your arm. I'd try some NSAIDs and avoid possible exacerbating exercises.
If symptoms persist, I'd see your orthopedist.
