A member asked:
I have a sharp pain in my right arm from my shoulder to my wrist. what is causing this ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiculopathy?: This could be a nerve being compressed in the neck or even referred pain from the shoulder. These symptoms often resolve in time but if no better with otc meds after a week or so then get checked out by your pcp. A trial of physical therapy may help. If there is weakness of the arm then a MRI may be needed.
