Should the doctor be consulted for complaints about left arm pain?
Patient: Good morning, my mummy has been diabetic for 6 years now, her should is relatively controlled but not yet on target. Now she has been complain of pain in her left arm and down to the hand, and she no more raises the hand above the head level and associated sleepless night. What should we do? Doctor: Hello,  The pain in the hand and arm with restricted movement is suggestive of a frozen shoulder that is commonly seen in diabetics. She needs to consult an orthopedician for proper management.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
