Sharp stabbing burning pain in upper outside left arm between shoulder and elbow. could it be cardiac related? happens about once every 30-40 days and lasts for 4-7 days then goes away.

Not cardiac: most probably nerve/muscle inflammation, NSAIDS, unless contraindicated, would help, if it keeps recurring or becomes worse see your doctor, best wishes
