Question 1

why am i always having left arm pain?

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilities: Although you are young, we can't forget that left arm pain can be referred from other places such as the heart, cervical spine, etc.  There certainly are many other possibilities such as referred shoulder pain, but if you haven't seen a physician i would recommend starting with your regular doctor first to narrow the possibilities.

Question 4

what does upper left arm pain mean and how should i treat it?

Heart? Cuff tear?: Not much info, here, but if it just arose &/or if you have associated symptoms like shortness of breath or perspiring, seek help asap: it could signal heart attack. Could be referred pain from chest, neck, or rib, muscle strain, rotator cuff or ligament tear. Go see your osteopathic primary care doc for proper assessment.Many of these (not heart!) can be treated with manipulation or other measures.
