A member asked:

On/off left arm pain over elbow are and upper area months. neck sore, thumb pointer finger sometimes numb especially at night. cervical fusion c6/7 one year prior for right arm numbness. heart risk factor low hdl and ectopic beats. heart or nerve?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Does not sound cardiac to me, and more likely you have a left carpal tunnel syndrome or a left C6 nerve involvement. Followup cervical MRI and a left arm EMG will localize and substantiate severity and provide guide for further intervention. Talk to your doctor about your heart concerns, unlikely but just to be safe.
