Thoracic region: I am assuming you are talking about the inner or medial aspect of your upper arm. This region is subserved by your upper thoracic nerve like your t2. With associated back pain ( upper region I am assuming) you may be having a disc pathology or arthritic condition at this region. See your doctor for an an exam and x-rays may be ordered on this region to find out what is really happening.

Injury: The most likely cause is repetitive trauma to muscle and fascia of your forearm. What physical activity have you been doing in the days as the problem started? This may be your easiest clue.

Accepted Answer

Relax, it may be anx: At your age it is unlikely that you have anything serious to worry about. Certainly it is not a heart attack(occur in older years).
For now I would suggest that you take a couple of Tylenol pills if your pain is more than bearable.
Try relaxation exercises which involve  taking short or long walks in the mornings.
If the pain becomes much worse and it is located in one area only, see your doctor .

Question 9

i woke up with a small bruise on my lower left arm and it has not gone away in a week. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you find that you notice more bruising without obvious cause call PCP Causes of a Bruise
These bruises result from microscopic tears in blood vessels under the skin. Unexplained bruises that occur easily or for no apparent reason may indicate a bleeding disorder, especially if the bruising is accompanied by frequent nosebleeds or bleeding gums.Nov 15, 2019

Question 10

i have burning sensation in back of left arm, above elbow.  i have had no injuries.  pain also down my lower arm. no other symptoms.?

Accepted Answer

See below: Any rashes associated with the pain area?  If so, consider "shingles" but the pain often comes before the rash.  Watch for this.  Any numbness in the area or down the arm, consider a neck issue/brachial nerve plexus issue.  See your doctor for confirmation or not.
