Question 1

small red line coming from a sore on left arm. is it time to worry?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: The red line is just inflammation/infection following the lymphatics. Lymphatics are channels carrying "foreign" material towards a lymph node, which is a sieve in the body. It filters out "foreign" material. So, this just means that your immune system is function. Worry only if you have a fever, chills, sweating, pain, marked tenderness or redness over the area.

Question 2

my left arm was very sore and achy for two days. i now have a rash on my upper arm and a small red rash on my hand which is now sore and tingles.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination. Your symptoms suggest Shingles. If the rash has become vesicle, please consult a doctor.

Question 3

i woke up with a bump on my upper, left arm, its not red, hot or a bite, its a little sore, size of a golf ball. i didn't bang it, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

See MD: Hard to tell, but it needs to be seen soon by an md.

Question 4

itching all over. red marks on neck. left arm weak and sore. haven't eaten anthing today but feet swelled after eating chicken yesterday.

Accepted Answer

Allergy to food?: Good morning,                                     it is likely an allergic reaction to either chicken or to the flavoring agents used to cook. Medications such as benedryl may provide a temperorary  relief. You may have to try again later with just boiled chicken in future to rule out a reaction to flavoring agents.

Question 5

i have soreness in my left arm and felt a small knot in my left arm as well. i was wondering if that could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

See your doc: difficult to say what the cause is without additional hx and time sequence of lesion and pain. Suggest you see your doc for further eval and possible tx, esp if problem has been going on for a few weeks or more.

Question 6

for last ~6 mos, pain in upper, inside left arm. no lump, redness, pain on touch. had ultrasound/xray, found nada.  can't figure why! should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Further questions: 1. What provokes the pain (movement, lifting, etc.)
2. What improves the pain (movement, etc.)
3. Any muscle weakness?
4. What sort of work do you do?
5. Are you left/right handed?

Question 7

does cervical steonisis cause upper back pain and left arm to be sore at times?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Cervical stenosis is caused by the opening in the vertebras of the neck being too small to allow the spinal cord to move freely.  A nerve may be pinched as it comes off the main cord, and cause back pain, especially upper back and arm pain.  Please see your doctor to have an exam and maybe some imaging to help figure it out.

Question 8

i have a soreness in my upper left arm like i had done an intense workout every time i wake up. i discovered a mole under my arm under the one that is so sore and it has been happening everynight for 2 months . its only the arm with the mole. sometimes it

Accepted Answer

Hard : Hard to relate the soreness and the mole but both of them should be checked out regardless. While the mole is likely nothing serious, a painful lesion anywhere should get checked out. Likewise, soreness unrelated to trauma or overuse should get checked out. Best of luck.

Question 9

31 years. on and off pain in left arm. left side of chest feels sore and irritated. dizzy. left side of back feels irritated. headaches. worry?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Likely not heart related at your age and the feeling of irritation seems to be on the skin. Are you stressed? Please consult a physician if symptoms are persistent.

Question 10

what could cause long-term arm soreness? for a few years, my left arm has been sore/weak. it gets worse with use, but also hurts at rest. i am left-handed and work a typical office job with a lot of time on the computer. 30f.

Accepted Answer

Workstation: This includes areas of your body such as your back, neck, chest, arms, shoulders and feet.
Having sore muscles and complaints of the muscles being tired are common.
Numbness may occur in the arms and hands.
These troubles may occur because the posture you assume when using the computer is most likely incorrect.
You may find that you are sitting in an uncomfortable chair.
