Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Stabbing Pain In Left Arm , Sore Shoulder, Cold. What Could Be This?
I had a stabbing pain in my left arm (tricep area) 5 days ago. It's quickly progressed to constant pain in the middle of my back. At first I could hardly use my arm but that's gotten a lot better but the shoulder is still quite sore. I also have had a cough during this time and just recently had a cold/flu as well. When I wake up it feels fine but as the day progresses the pain in my back gets progressively worse.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain and soreness in the shoulder could be due to a muscle sprain or a tendonitis in the area. An MRI scan of the area will help in the proper diagnosis and treatment. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
