arm pain and weakness

(2 discussions)

HelloI have left arm (dominant arm) pain and weakness, also elbow and shoulder pain on same side. I have numbness in thumb, index finger at times amd at other times numbness in last 2 fingers. Upon exertion the arm pain increases and I can no longer carry anything in this arm. The problem is now spreading to the right arm with identical symptoms. Am awaiting nerve conduction tests and MRI of cervical area, on x-ray it showed small bilateral ribs. As waiting list is so long any tips on how I can help myself in the meantime? Thank you.

    I am experiencing similar symptoms in my right (dominant) arm. I recently started riding bike again and have had a significant increase in muscle in that arm and shoulder. Also recently had a biking accident which may have jarred my spine from the left side.

    Hi I have pain that goes from my sholder to my fingers. The pain is very sharp but goes awayafter I move my arm around. Thank you Gerald Williams
