Suggest remedy pain in left arm
Patient: My left arm has this strangle pain that comes and goes. Sometimes it hurts a lot sometimes it just feels like my arm is asleep. I thought maybe it s cause I was sleeping on it so I stopped and it still hurts. It started a week ago when I stopped smoking meth. Doctor: Here it can  be due to withdrawal symptoms of smoking.  But in that case it should be more multiple part of body.  For this kind of patient I first check from where the pain starts when it is starting from neck and radiating to the arm usually I have seen there may be  possibility of cervical can disc issue or cervical curve loss too. In this case you need to check with mri of cervical spine for proper evaluation and then visit ortho as well physio for further treatment with medication and physical therapy. You can also use hot and cold pack frequently at your symptomatic area like neck and arm to have more relief.  Take care.
