Arm Pain.............help Please Posted: 01-09-05 22:25pm
For the past several months, i've been
experiencing pain in my left arm, from
the elbow bend to the start of the
shoulder. The pain is hard to describe,
its almost like a feeling of muscle
deteriorating, and hurts more when i'm
trying to sleep. The only way to really
demonstrate the pain (say to a doctor), is
to put my arm in a position, like if I
were doing flies while working out in the
gym.
Is there anyone out there that has similar
pains? Please let me know,
My daughter has pain in both her arms.
She has had blood work for a muscle
problem, lyme titer, emg testing, and
other things. Tried advil and aleve that
her neuro recommended. Nothing has helped
except raising her aed(epilepsy med) which
is one also used for pain syndromes.Hers
is sometimes worse when trying to sleep,
but can also get bad in the
afternoon/evening....
I can have this same heavy, painful,
pressure arm feeling but it seems to be
related to neck misalignment for me. Her
brother sometimes has this when he wakes
up...So all three of us have the symptom
but different ways of it showing...
We have no answers so sorry we are not
much help!

It's from putting too much pressure on it,
and having it in such a funny position for
so long. You sleep with your arm under
your pillow don't you? I've been
having the same problem. I woke up
with bad pains in which ever arm I slept
on most that night, and my arm would be
really weak. It's probably lack of
blood flow, try sleeping without your arm
bent upward. Or even under your pillow
at all, it helped me a lot. :d
