What Causes Tendon Pain In My Left Arm And Shoulder?
I had a ganglian cyst removal some years ago just above the left wrist on the back of my hand.
I am having problems with tendons etc and have muscle/tendon pain in my left arm and shoulder.
Could this be due to nerve/damage from the surgery? I understand this can sometimes be an unfortunate side effect?

No, the surgery on the wrist will not give rise to pain up in the arm or shoulder. You might have injured a muscle during excercise or sport. Yoy have not mentioned your age. If you are above 40 years, then you should also evaluate yourself from your cardiac point of view. Show yourself to an orthopaedic surgeon and also a physician if muscle trauma is ruled out.
