Both my arms and my hand has not got any better and the doctors do not know what it causing this yet. Can you help me?
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain that you are feeling could be due to a muscle stiffness or tendonitis. A nerve related problem can also cause such symptoms. You need to get an MRI of your back and shoulder done to find out the exact cause.
