Allergic Reaction to Alcohol?
by daedal, Jun 13, 2006 12:00AM
I've been having weird symptoms for the past year or so. After a night of heavy drinking a year ago. I woke up with this pain in my left arm. Whenever I would raise my left arm, I would feel this sharp pain that I would feel from my armpit to the middle of my arm. I wasn't sure if it was the alcohol that was causing inflammation or what. My left shoulder would also feel inflammed and soar. And whenever I would lift it up, a bone seems to be cracking every time I lift up. It hurts as well when it cracks. I would take massive amounts of omega3's to lower inflammation, but i think my body built a tolerance to them and inlflammation wouldnt get any better. Also sometimes my lower left and right side ache from time to time. Very weird and sporatic symptoms. Another thing that happens when I run for a small period of time, I get this pain that feels like its next to my heart, It usually comes within 20 seconds of heavy running and if I continue to run, the pain gets even worse.
I havn't drinking anything for the past six months and these symptoms have proceeded. I don't think alcohol is the problem, I think it aggitates more than anything. Was wondering if you had any suggestions or anything that would help the inflammation.

help! my arm feels like its going to pop off...oh usually either arm, but this last time it stayed in my left arm until the following day.
no drinky drinky for me....
I went to the doctor about this and he related it to anxiety, but a nurse friend of mine said it is a pulled shoulder/back muscle and it gets worse after drinking due to the relaxing effect alcohol has. That is why it doesnt hurt during consumption.
It does hurt badly though!!!
