upper arm/shoulder pain

[chellbell1202]

I recently have had pain develop in my left upper arm, mainly my shoulder that has lasted 4 days so far. Skin is hypersensitive to touch over my whole arm and constant sharp pain in my shoulder. Useing it to pick up heavy oblects doesnt change the pain.

Hello!

Place ice packs and see if the inflammation subsides. Recollect the history of any injury or fall prior to the start of inflammation.

This can be tendonitis. Take some anti inflammatory drugs and rest. Lifting of heavy objects might have caused some damage.

If it does not help you would need an orthopedic examination  and some investigations to diagnose any ligament, tendon or bursa problem.

Take care!
