Pain In Arm And Shoulder. Taking Blood Pressure Medication. What Could It Be?
I have started having pain in my left arm and shoulder yesterday after lunch. It went away just before I went to bed and I woke up today and felt alright for a few hours and it came back. What could it be? I am 27 yo overweight, and I take blood pressure medication. I did fall pretty hard on my back and shoulder last Sunday if that was it would the pain have come sooner?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the arm and shoulder could be related to an overuse of the muscles, mild inflammation of the rotator cuff or a muscle sprain. Rest and hot fomentation with mild pain killers will help in symptomatic improvement.
