A member asked:
What could be causing a knot in my upper outer aspect of my arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deltoid/teres cramp?: You may have a cramp or strain of your deltoid or teres muscles. See your family physician and consider tylenol, (acetaminophen) rest, ice, topical massage. If no improvement within a week, you must see an internal medicine and orthopedic specialist for more sinister pathology evaluation. Good luck!
