Left Arm

Hello. My name is olivia and i live in indiana (i am 14 years old) about 30 minutes ago, i am experiencing left  arm pain from my left shoulder all the way down to my hand. i am not sure what this is and i would like to know. Also, i am not athletic (if that helps at all) so i dont run, and i dont take gym in middle school. If you can tell me what's going on, i'd very much appreciate it.

I noticed that you suspect pheochromocytoma in a lot of other cases in other communities too.
It is a very rare disease though. Are you really serious in your answers?

Highly unlikely, neuroendocrine tumors are very rare and usually presented in over 60 year olds. Why scare the OP with all the worse case scenarios? This is a 14 year old with a sudden onset of discomfort which could be anything from a pinched nerve or pulled muscle.

We can't really say what's going on over the Internet,  but it's most likely a pinched nerve in your neck or shoulder. If it keeps up you should have your parents take you to see a doctor.
