Arm pain: Assuming no recent injury, 2 possibilities are shoulder tendonitis or pinched or inflamed nerve in the vertebra in the neck or at the shoulder level. If symptoms persist after avoiding stress on your arm and shoulder, consult an orthopedic specialist for evaluation. Any appropriate tests will be ordered. Discuss this with your parents.
