Q: Left Arm And Shoulder Pain
asked by: denisem on January 11th, 2007
New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
10 months ago I had a baby, 2 months later I started having this pain in my left arm and shoulder. I went to the emergency room, they did a cat scan and they also did an ekg. I was informed that it wasn't my heart. What else could it be? I walk about 3 miles a day I cut back on fried foods. Sometimes I feel the pain in my risk and fingers.

HI!!

a lot of times, arm and shoulder pain are due to issues like tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, and gout. It can also result from a reaction to medications such as penicillin, anti-anxiety drugs, and oral contraceptives.

Best thing to do is see a specialist, maybe an orthopedist.

Honestly, it sounds like a pinched nerve.

i dont think food nor exercise has anything to do with it. You could have something wrong with one of the nerves in your enck that may be radiating pain down you arm. Can you give exact sites of pain/tingling that may provide more of a clue to what nerve i.e outer to fingers etc Smile
