experiencing internal pain in my left upper arm between elbow and shoulder. The pain feels purely internal and not skeletal. Has been there 4-6 months and does not always affect arm use or movement.

HI Thanks for posting your query on HCM Your pain could be cause by medical conditions like: -Reteated stress/strain since pain is intermittent -Elbow and shoulder osteoarthritis -Cervical nevralgia No matter the cause, the principle of treatment of such pain remains the same.Treatment options may include: different lines of pain drugs depending on pain intensity, myorelaxants, steroids ocassionally, physiotherapy.Some of these options may be used together for better results.I will advise you try the following: *Take a pain drug like aceclofenac during acute attacks *A myorelaxant like miorel *Heat/cold therapy when intense *You may hire a physiotherapist for massage If symptoms persist, you see your Doctor for investigation and other treatment options.
