A member asked:

Hi there i have terrible pain in my left arm between my elbow an shoulder for the last 2 weeks. is it something i should be worried about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may take paracetamol for the pain, no more than 4 g/day, no alcohol. If that does not help it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
