Avatar f tn Sometimes a rotator cuff tear will cause upper arm pain like you are describing but not often seen in both upper extremities at the same time. Have it checked out!
Avatar n tn pain in the upper arm, right in the middle. No shoulder or elbow pain. Left is worse than the right, if I bump my arm or if someone sqeezes my arm, even lightly it causes me more pain. My arms hurt all the the time, I wake up in pain. I am 19 yrs old and have been having this pain since I was about 11 yrs old. I have been to a Rheumatologist, Orthopedic, Muscle specialist and Surgeon. I have had MRIs, Xrays and an EEG...nothing! The pain is always there, please please help.
Avatar n tn There is no typical cardiogenic chest pain, which is crushing precordial pain radiating to the jaw, arm and neck, relieved with sublingual nitrates. other possibilities for the muscle spasms can be chest injuries, previous chest surgery, possible culprit, any history of athletics, stress fractures , pulled chest muscles. Fibromyalgia is an important condition of chronic fatigue which causes severe muscle pain, with muscle spasms in chest.
Avatar n tn i am a 50 year old female the last 3 weeks i have had bad pain in my upper arms at night feel sore of day time now it is also in my legs mostly on muscles
Avatar f tn I have swelling of the upper arm. It is muscle pain and began after I was inactive for 7 months and then became active again. My upper arms were swollen on the outer side first and I could not sleep on my sides because it was too sore. I went to a rheumatologist and was told I had frozen shoulder and should go to physical therapy. I felt that the reason I could not move my one arm was because my arm was swollen and it would go against that area and was painful when I moved it.

Avatar m tn I am having extreme pain in my left upper arm. I believe it is from pulling up & lifting a heavy item repeatedly this week from about the height of my ribs. I have been taking muscle relaxers, applying heat & trying to 'work it out' by moving it alot.. I'm wondering if the heat & movement was wrong because its getting much worse. It is now painful to touch it. Its about one inch down from the top middle of my arm.
Avatar f tn Having severe arm pain in the right upper arm. Arm pits also painful as well as unable to elevate right arm when at a 90 degree angle. Seems to be in the muscle, sore to touch, hard to sleep. Am over 50 with some arthritis and low bone density.
Avatar n tn A satellite myofascial point is a highly irritable spot in a muscle that becomes inactive because the muscle is in the region of another trigger pain. The pain of fibromyalgia is generalized, occurring above and below the waist and on both sides of the body. On the other hand, myofascial pain is more often described as occurring in a more limited area of the body, for example, only around the shoulder and neck, and on only one side of the body. Take care and regards !
Avatar f tn Im a 51 yr old female. Have noticed over the past year a pain in my left upper arm that is getting worse. No, its NOT heart pain. This is pain related to movement of the arm. Its right about where you get a flu shot, only straight down the arm by about 2-3 inches On the OUTSIDE of my arm. Right where somebody would give you a punch on the arm. In THAT spot. It has gone from a mild ache if I move it just right, to a burning almost unbearable pain when I move it just right.
Avatar f tn The flare ups are becoming more and more and ecah time they start up a diffrent muscle is strongly effected than the rest. All my pain I am having is muscle pain. So far this pain has not been diagnosed. I just want to relax without pain.
Avatar f tn what would cause the pain in my upper arm to come and go at will and at night wake me up with the pain from it as well as pain during the day?
237053 tn?1258828426 My main symptom has always been muscle pain - sometimes 'deep' pain sometimes 'burning' type pain also my muscles can feel knotted-up - like I can't stretch them I do find about a teacup full of Epsom salts plus some Radox with Rosemary - helps me to relax- sometimes as soon as I am in the water I feel it start to work - other times it can take 'overnight' to have much effect. Fibro. or Lyme? I thought I had fibro.
1144044 tn?1283376544 I also have some unintentional twitching in various areas and various times. I am now having little spasms in my upper arm and right where the elbow bends. I've been trying to use weights for arm excersise to see if that helps. I also have some spasms or twitcfing under one eye. No Doctor has shown any intereswst. Very frustating I know. Let me know if you get any answers. please.
Avatar m tn Over the years and as the pain has increased i have so many tender places along the band of muscles on the upper left side of my body including the shoulder (under and above scapula) muscles going to my neck, the band of muscles above the ribs, the arm muscles and hands, If i press any of these points it shoots pain everywhere on my upper side. So the muscle aches are concentrated to my shoulder,neck,pec and arm.
Avatar f tn I am trying to figure out if I need to see a doctor for the the left arm pain or is it caused by the knot. I also noticed that very rarely I have been sitting on couch and my upper body starts tingling and my heart rate jumps from about 75 to 126 for 5-10 sec then goes back to normal quickly. Sorry for the long post, any advice would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn I have been having pain in my left arm that has now spread to my breast & upper neck & back. The pain runs down my arm. What can be the cause of this?
Avatar f tn For the past 2 years, on and off...I get this weird pain in my upper left arm...most times it feels like a tight muscle or pinch or squeeze, sometimes I get a burning sensation or tingling, but I basically always feel it. It doesn't 'hurt', but it is very uncomfortable and bothersome...I always think there is something majorly wrong with me, and overthinking the arm pain gives me anxiety! And that doesn't help, cause then I feel it more! It's a vicious cycle.
Avatar n tn I have pain on the left side of my neck, shoulder, arm and hand. Latley my hand feels num and cold and my movement is very limited. I have difficulty sleeping with this pain and now had been getting muscle pains in my calves, hamstrings and butt. I am have a hard time getting up from a chair and walking around because of these muscle pains. What is going on??
Avatar f tn neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, hips, chest, breast bone (especially to the sides of it), left arm, abdomen Muscles are tender when I touch them, especially arms and thighs Hypoglycemia Weight Gain I've had heart tests, stomach tests, blood tests. Nothing shows up. I'm getting very frustrated and discouraged! Does this sound like it could be fibromyalgia?
Avatar n tn The tingling is now gone, but I still have upper back/shoulder blade pain and arm pain. The pain ususally starts in my upper back, then under my armpit, then my upper arm feels tight and starts to hurt and the pain then radiates down the front of my arm, under my wrist and sometimes into my hand. And I still feel as if my arm is weaker. Last night I had some muscle twitches in my shoulder and when I lean back to stretch my upper back my shoulder does hurt some.
387767 tn?1345872027 Does anyone get pain in the upper stomach/rib area? I get pain in my back which seems to radiate to my stomach and it is one of the most horrible symptoms yet. I went to my family doctor because I thought maybe I had a gallbladder attack, but he said he thought it was the fibro attacking my abdominal muscles. He gave me SOMA, which helped a little, but 2 hrs. later the pain was bad again. I can't sleep at night and can't find a comfortable position. Can anyone help?
