Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Arm
Question: I am having a lot of pain in my right arm. The pain is more like an ache when I move it. The pain is between my elbow and just below the top of my shoulder.
Brief Answer:
Can be a muscular pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain between the elbow and top of the shoulder is likely to be due to muscular cause. It can be a shoulder related issue like rotator cuff tendonitis or a frozen shoulder. A good muscle relaxant in combination with a pain killer can help in bringing the pain relief.
It is best to avoid any overhead activities and do a hot compress in the painful area. Do consult an orthopedician for proper examination and stronger prescription medicines.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thank you for your response to my question. Can my PCP also help with this issue? Also, do you think I should have an MRI?
