Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

At your age, this pain and weakness in left arm are significant. It could be due to cervical spondylosis or cardiac disease. I would suggest you get X-rays of the neck and consult a cardiologist for cardiac disease.

Thanks.
