What Is The Nerve Pain On Left Elbow And Bicep?

Hello, I m a 53 yr old male experiencing nerve pain, left elbow and bicep. Like I slept on it wrong, only I ve been up for hours, and it seems to have intensified. An occupational therapist friend told me it s Saturday night palsy and it ll go away. When?? I can t use left arm and it really hurts if I try. Is she pulling my leg?? Seriously AND sincerely, Doug.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation of Yours, seem to suffer from-
Fibromyalgia from long Neuro-Vascular Compression in left arm and elbow.
It does not seem to be Saturday night palsy,as you dont have numbness, but pain which is increasing from use.
Its mostly the pain in muscles around left elbow and biceps,which seems to have intensified,after getting up.
This pain is from Fibromyalgia and is from Vascular congestion and resultant lactic acidosis-damage to muscles around left elbow and biceps.
This pain will resolve on its own= with rest to the part and would take 1-3 days,as nothing serious is there.


Do's -
Hot fomentation to the left elbow and biceps, to increase muscle circulation.
Infra-Red radiation
And Voltaren gel -locally to control unbearable pain.

Other causes need to be ruled out-by Consults with Surgeon and proper investigation and treatment.
This plan would reduce your dilemma from pain in left elbow and biceps

Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
