What Causes Chronic Pain In Arms?
I am having chronic pain in my left arm it has been going on for at least four months now... the pain is mainly in my upper arm but also will go right down to my hand and fingers... Usually when I attempt to do things with my arm... The pain is there all of the time... but gets worse when I use my arm... Even just to comb my hair... I do have a herniated disc in my neck and that has been confirmed two years ago... I just wonder if that may be the problem... I am at my whits end... please help

hi,
as you mentioned you have a herniated disc in the cervical spine and also having pain with limitations to functions I will advice you to undergo to a physical therapist and he will help you with ultrasound therapy and TENS for pain relief and spasm. Also you will be put further into the exercises for the neck and upper limb. also the upper back will be made to focus for better stability of spine.
also perform the exercises later on by yourself for long term maintenance
usuly people recover with 99% success.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
regards
