left arm pain

by Ihatepalps2, Apr 13, 2008 02:12PM
Hi! The title of my post sound ominous....so first let me say I JUST (as in the last week) had a complete cardiac workup by a cardiologist--which included EKG/ECG, holter monitor,blood work Echocardiogram and stress test. All of which I passed easily. So Im sure this is not cardiac-related....BUT.... I have this reocurring pain in my left arm..in 2 places. I use my left arm alot....Im female...so I have this big heavy purse..I carry groceries...etc..all the time...but..the pain basically aches in the upper arm near the shoulder..sometimes IN the shoulder...but also..if you imagine someone giving you a good punch in the arm, you know the spot they would do it..the place you get injections--THAT big muscle or whatever it is, thats what aches sometimes. Then, farther towards my wrist..in my "forearm" ...that aches too. Not ever the whole arm at once. I work 8 hrs a day on a computer..and i think Im sitting wrong at work..I know it aches there. But its not the same ache every day...same vicinity, but not same exact place. All "achy-ness" is on the "outside" of my arm..nothing on the inner side.
Im just wondering if its tendonitus in the lower part of the arm..and something else up near my shoulder??Anyone else in the whole wide world ever have this problem?? Or am I the only one......

Just wondering if you found a cause to your problem?  I am experiencing very similar symptoms and I am actually going today for a CT scan of my neck/chest to rule out any problems with my subclavian vein.  Just wondering if you have had any luck.  Like you I have exhausted every cardio test to no avail!  Good luck to you
