Suggest remedy for sharp pain in arm
Patient: I have pain in my left arm,feels like muscle when I rotate my arm to the right and lift up its sharp. Shoveling snow today didn t help and now its a steady throb. not sure if a xray will help or if I m going to have to have a mri . it s been going on for at least a month or longer. Doctor: helloYou must attend a orthopedic clinic for proer examination and investigations.it could be supraspinatus tendinitis or biceps tendinitis (inflammation of tendons which attach muscle to bone) or even shoulder joint problem.Do hot fomentation and take advil tabs after meals thrice a day and rest arm in a broad shoulder-arm sling till you attend orthopedics clinic.A weeks rest to 10 days would be good in sling alongwith medicines.The final treatment can be decided after examination and xrays if necessary, MRI ,if needed onlythanks
