What Causes Pain In The Left Upper Arm?
My left upper arm has been aching for no obvious reason for the past couple weeks, making it hard to write (I m left handed). This afternoon I started to ache all over and am assuming it s a cold coming on. However, having been lying down for the past hour or so my BP is 180/90. :o/. I take BP medication and don t usually have a problem with my BP if I rest.

Such symptoms are either due to neual compression or vascular compromise, in both you need proper evaluation and investigation to see the cause. Consulting a neurologist will help.
