A member asked:

Have a pain all the way down my left arm from shoulder to hand. it comes and goes and it has for months. could this be heart?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not at 22 years old.: I would be more suspicious of a pinched nerve in your shoulder causing the pain. See a physiatrist for this(NOT a psychiatrist)))
