Solution For Severe Pain In Left Arm With A Hard Lump Along With Pain In Shoulder Blades And Joints

Hi Doctor, My mother has severe pain in her left upper arm. and there is a hard lump (movable one). It pains a lot, so i guess it is not lipoma (as they dont hurt). My mom is having sleepless nights...she has pain in shoulder joint as well. and now it has reached shoulder blades. Please help :(

hi
it needs clinical examination or best excisional biopsy of that lump.But to relieve her pain you can give her gabapentin if the pain is associated with numbness and tingling sensation.
wish you good health.
