Having shooting pain down my left arm what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radicular pain: It's called radicular pain. It's due to nerve irritation or compression. It can come from your arm pit, your collar bone but most likely your neck. You need to have a physical performed by a physician who will probably order an imaging scan.
