Suggest Remedy For Pain In The Left Upper Arm
For weeks my left upper arm has been aching. It has become weak because of pain. I have not had an injury. Tonight the area from my elbow up, about 5 or 6 inches, is completely bruised. I don t know why and don t know if I should go to urgent care. Any ideas?

Hi,
Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, this is going to be an injury. Urgent care can make a good guess but they don't have full resources the way a regular doctor or an emergency room would. In something occurring over weeks, generally, it is not an emergency.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
