Sharp Burning Sensation In Left Tricep, Tender To Touch, Some Residual Pain. Solution ?
hi! I'm having a sharp burning sensation in my left tricep. The area is tender tot he touch and when the sharp pain subsides, I still feel residual pain. I work out but havent done anything in almost a week and I can't attribute it to any incident or injury. I have been to an Ortho recently regarding pain in my back and right shoulder.

Hi and thanks for the query,
I suggest you might to see your ortho again. Exclusion of an inflammatory process is required. If done, this should certainly be a mechanical lesion due to a tear or partial ligamentous rupture or tearing. In this case, the expertise of a physiotherapist would be most welcome instead. Consult your physician and suggest if physiotherapy could be helpful, which to me, could be of great importance. Thanks and kind regards,
