I've been having an uncomfortable tightness in my left arm for the past 2 days. i constantly need to flex it. what could this be?

Angina Possible!: The pain in your arm could be coming from your shoulder, however, based on the description you gave, it could also represent something more serious such as angina or even a heart attack! given the length of time it has already occurred, i hope you seek medical attention asap.
