A member asked:

What is the cause of left forarm cramp like a leg cramp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If it is localized: to left forearm, it is probably something that affects only the area. Circulation problems and nerve problems come to mind. Also, it could be angina, referred pain from your heart. Consult with your doctor to investigate these possibilities.
