Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a hard day at work. Not physical , but I answer telephones and they ring constantly . My left arm began to ache like a toothache . I took 2 aspirins and laid down for an hour, but my arm kept aching . It is slowing feeling better now. after about 3 hours
It is likely that the pain is due to soft tissue injury to the muscles in that arm from over use. If the aspirin is not effective for you then you can try the use of other pain medications such as Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Cataflam, Celebrex etc. A cold compress to the area may also be helpful as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
