Question 1

is it normal to have pain in your arm after you get blood taken out?

Accepted Answer

That can occur.: Do you have a bruise? Sometimes blood draws can be a little traumatic. . Tylenol (acetaminophen) or an NSAID can help with pain. If you get redness, heat, swelling, pus, increased tenderness or red streaks then please seek medical care for a possible infection.

Question 2

what does it mean when you have constant pain in your arm? it goes away for like 5 minutes then comes back...it's been going on for weeks. i'm only 20

Accepted Answer

Eval: Could be a vascular problem, muscular problem, nerve problem, bone problem.  Certainly not normal.  I would monitor location, radiating symptoms, alleviating  and worsening factors, and associated symptoms.  I would talk to primary doctor too.  May need x rays    try conservative measures too.  Otc meds, rest, hear, stretching before going to doctor.

Question 3

can arthritis in your neck cause pain in your arm?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Arthritis in the cervical spine may effect exiting spinal nerves. These nerves contain different fibers, some of which provide sensation and pain. So a pinched nerve in your neck can cause pain to radiate down your arm.

Question 4

my arm gets num and cold has happened for 2days  what is this mean

Accepted Answer

Arm numbness: This could be related to herniated disk in your neck. I recommend you get seen for this.

Question 5

i cut arm yesterday. is a small cut but is deep and it may need stiches. what happens if i don't get stiches? will it heal itself?

Accepted Answer

It probably: Will heal, but how well and did you cut anything important like tendons or nerves. 
I would at least have a doctor evaluate it for your own good. Also, are you up to date on the tetanus?

Question 6

is it possible to have one arm muscular and the other one not? how does this happen?

Accepted Answer

Hand dominance: Most of us will have more strength in our dominant hand compaired to our non-dominant hand.

Question 7

i'm really wondering about my arm, i finished working out and my left are became very weak after, should i worry? it's never happened before.

Accepted Answer

Need more info: What kind of workout? Did you injure a muscle or nerve? Please make an appt with your family physician for an examination to make sire you do not have a serious injury or a simple strain that will heal. Are you doing exercises with advice from a trainer so you are doing no harm to yourself?

Question 8

keep getting a pain in left arm. it squeezes for a few seconds on an off. then it disappears all together. it has happened usually in the mornings?

Accepted Answer

: Left arm pain merits an examination by one's doctor to allow a careful exam including taking of a detailed history, physical exam, EKG and, possibly special tests including vascular ultrasound, stress test or coronary CT angiogram (a simple 15 min test), and pertinent blood tests.

Question 9

ive been off balance 4 mnths now. it happens w arm and back movment. no answers, all tests are norm. dnt feel faint, but off. recent diagnos w/cmt1a?

Accepted Answer

Too complex: Your question is too complex for this venue. You should consider a consult on Healthtap Concierge with one of our neurologists, such as Dr. Dariush Saghafi or Dr. Eric Weisman, among others. You will get a much more useful answer. Good luck.

Question 10

i had a needle break off in my arm approximately 4 to 5 years ago. what should i do? or how long could it be before symptoms start to occur? or am i okay now since it's been so long and nothing has happened?

Accepted Answer

: If it truly broke off it would be obvious on an x-ray of the site &amp; might even trigger a metal detector to alarm (I kept one in my office). I would expect you to have had any related symptoms by 54 years from the event. If concerned have the site evaluated.
