What can be the cause of sudden pain in right arm?
Hi...Pain in your right arm can be caused by a number of things. Some of these causes may be rather serious, but most of them are not. If you haven’t gone bowling for a long time and then do so for an hour or so, you’ll usually have some pain or soreness in your upper right extremity the next day, assuming you’re right-handed. Most right arm pain, and most left arm pain for that matter, is caused by overworking or overstraining certain muscles in the arm. When that is the case, the soreness and pain you might have to contend with the next day will seldom last for more than 24 hours, if that long. This is one reason why those who exercise with weights normally subject the same muscles to strenuous activity only on alternate days at the very most.Causes of Arm PainThe things that can cause your right arm to feel sore or painful can be placed into four broad categories for the purpose of this discussion. These categories include injury (muscle strain, tendinitis, and fracture), nerve issues (nerve entrapment, herniated disk), poor posture and other less common causes, and pain that is felt both in the arm and in the back.Treating Pain in the Right ArmFrom the above, it is apparent that the type of treatment required will vary with the cause and can include allowing the muscles or tendons in the arm to rest, placing the arm in a cast, medication, or possibly performing surgery if a nerve or the spinal column lies at the root of the problem. If the discomfort is due to a heart problem, treating the pain is generally of secondary importance. The same would usually be true if the source of the problem is a spinal cord injury or disorder. Fortunately, the more common causes of pain in the arms are both treatable and curable. Since arm pain can sometimes be difficult to diagnose, it will be helpful to your doctor if you can give a description on what the pain is like; where it appears to be centered, if that is indeed the case; and what actions or activities tend to trigger the discomfort.
My left arm and boob hurts.?
and my thigh. Its been happening for like 2 1/2 months now. Randomly and suddenly I get intense pain my left arm and semi-severe pain in my left boob and upper thigh. Pain killers do not help at all. The pain is so bad in my arm it hurts to move it. My boob feels like it being grabbed really hard. Moving doesn't help at all nor does applying pressure. My parents won't take me to the doctor or the e.r or anything as my health insurance doesn't cover me at all. [they make up a lot of reason such as; my spinal fusion surgery wasn't necessary, it was cosmetic =/] what could it possibly be??
Sudden pain under my armpit?
Have you recently switched to a new deoderant? Do you shave your arms?It could be a ingrown hair or it could be a swollen lymph node. The same thing happened to my mom. She put hot compress on it and it got bigger and bigger and when she went to the doctor she had to get it cut and drained cause it went from swollen lymnph node to an actual boil.And yes they do hurt but they can also get infected or worse if untreated.
My arm hurts after playing the Wii?
your arm likely hurts because you did something you normally don't do especially if your an avid video game player. ice, heat it up where it hurts its likely just inflamed atm. heat - hot bath, electric blanket wrapped around affected area, hot cloth, heating pad, icy hot. cold- ice, ice water, icy hot,. in general just lay off using which ever arm is affected for a couple of days. it will get stiff when healing sets in don't do anything more then basic stretches or it will take longer to heal. also get more physical activity instead of being genuinely lazy.. as well maybe stretch before you play wii from now on.
My wrist, arm and forearm have started to pain all of a sudden while writing and I am deeply worried. What might be the reason?
This pain is due to cervical radicular inflammation.nerve swling in short. Simple test is if u hold that painful forearm above head pain will reduce .that indicates it is related to neck.U need to do shoulder shrugs and take medication to reduce nerve swelling. Common cause is exposure of neck to cold while sleeping at night.Use hot fomentation.stay away from cold air blast from ac or cooler or fan at night and at work.Medication needed can be in form of pain relievers.swelling relievers and those making nerve quiet.
19 years old, sudden sharp pain in left arm?
I'm 19 years old, and last night I experienced somewhat severe pain in my left arm. It seemed like it started just above my elbow, then worked it's way up to my shoulder. It did not hurt when I put pressure on my arm though. The feeling was difficult to describe. When I would move it, it started to hurt just slightly, and my arm felt very heavy. My mom told me to take 2 Motrin and see if it helps. After about 10-15 minutes, the pain started to fade away. This morning, it feels fine. I am still concerned on why this has occurred though. My mother told me possible explanations like, muscle spasm, or poor circulation in the arm. I was not doing any physical activity on my arm at all that day, nor did I lay on it wrong. If I had to rate the pain on a scale from 1-10, I would say it was about 6 or a 7. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Why is my 6 year old clumsy all of a sudden and complaining his legs/muscles hurt?
Since this past Spring, My 6 year old son has been falling down constantly, he seems really clumsy and off-balance. When he goes up and down the stairs he complains his legs hurt. When I put sunscreen on him, he complains his arms hurt, and Im not rubbing it on forcefully/hard or anything... Hes eating and sleeping regularly. He had a hearing test when he was about 3 years old and everything was fine. He seems at times weak and tired... This is all new, he hasn't always been like this. I am going to make him a doctors appointment but I would like some feedback from others, so I can ask the doctor more thorough questions... please and thank you!!!
