Dr. Charles Ruotolo answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Arm pain: This can be from your heart and referred to your arm or it can be a primary problem with your shoulder or arm. Start with discussing it with your cardiologist and if they say its not your heart i would recommend seeing an orthopedist.
