A member asked:

I am 31 yrs old and i have aching in my left shoulder and my left arm had a lot of test done on my heart and they all come back good so what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arm pai: What you describe is unlikely to be related to your heart, it is most likely a musculoskeletal related pain. These often don't show anything on anything but physical diagnostic testing.
