Suggest Treatment For Elbow Pain When Suffering From Gastroesophageal Reflux

I have pain in my left arm. I have GERD but am experiencing no chest or abdominal pains. It seemed to have started in my upper left arm and worked down just past the elbow. I am feeling a squeezing pain in the elbow and discomfort on the left shoulder when I move my neck. What can I do besides ibuprofen to alleviate the pain?

Dear Patient,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, besides ibuprofen, a consultation with a doctor is must, as it seem you have some cervical disc problem and that has started putting pressure on the nerves and thus causing pain.
you will also need an MRI of the cervical spine for this purpose.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
