Can A Low Sodium Level Be Causing Arm, Jaw And Legs Pain?
IN THE PAST WEEKS I HAVE BEEN EPERIENCING SEVERE PAIN IN MY RIGHT ARM- RECENTLY GRAVITATING TO MY JAW. EARLIER I ALSO HAD SEVERE PAINS IN MY UPPER LEGS. I ALSO FIND THAT MY WORK AS A BOOKKEEPER AT A LIBRARY IS BECOMING DIFFICULT FOR ME-ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN CARYING OUT THEE DUTIES FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. I AM 87 YEARS OLD AND IN MUCH PAIN. I HAVE (YESTERDAY) BEEN TOLD THAT MY SODIUM LEVEL IS EXTREMELY LOW. CAN THESE SYMPTOMS BE RELATED? Elna L. Dwyer
