A member asked:

Left shoulder pain that radiates down arm into hand, accompanied by pain from hip (l) down my leg. only happens when laying down. cause for concern?

Dr. Robert Breiner answered

Nerve pressure: It appears from the radiating pain that you have nerve compression. This happens when a nerve is squeezed between two other structures. You need to get examined by a physician, Neurologist, who can find the compression sites before the pain becomes longer lasting and possible permanent.
