A member asked:

I get a painful burning feeling when i stretch my left arm and pick something up. the pain is on the back upper left arm. do i need to go to doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle or nerve: This type of discomfort could be due to straining of the triceps muscle or due to impingement of a nerve during a stretching maneuver. An orthopedic surgeon would be best qualified to evaluate you if your symptoms persist or worsen.
