A member asked:

I have a nagging in my left arm, it stays in one place. i checked blood pressure and it was 115/73. is that good or bad? i am eating right now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Great BP: Your BP is excellent. The pain in your left arm , if constant, is likely to be related to sore muscles, bursitis, tendonitis or arthritis.
