I have sharp pains in the back of my upper left arm. what do you think that could be?

"Pinched" nerve?: One possible cause is an irritated nerve in the neck, for example, from arthritis, injury or viral infection. See your clinician to get checked. Taking something like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can give temporary relief. Hope that helps.
