Hello Doctor. My Question Is In Regards To A Symptom
Question: Hello Doctor.
My question is in regards to a symptom I have been having periodically that is quite painful but brief. I sometimes get sharp pain and acing under neath the upper part of my arm in the muscle area. it does not last long, but is extremely annoying and I cannot pinpoint it to any possible thing that I did that may have affected that area.. At times it is under the upper side of my left arm near the shoulder and recently I have been getting it under the right arm. :Pain just seems to radiate to my elbow and then goes away. I am not really doing anything at the time and only feel it when I am sitting and relaxing . but it is enough pain where it does get my attention. Any thoughts as to what it could possibly be causing this pain? I appreciate any incite you can provide.. Regards
