A member asked:
What might cause weakness/aching in the left shoulder to left elbow, tightness in left chest for a few weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely musculoskelet: Likely musculoskeletal but you need an exam to confirm. If you have other symptoms such as shortness of breath or risk factors for heart or lung disease be seen in the ER. Otherwise, see your family doctor for an exam and management. All the best.
