To be concerned about this arm pain?

[Ncposting]

Probably just being a drama queen but my arm is killing!

Started as a dull ache and is now really painful, still an ache but a lot worse. It’s down the whole arm from top to just above my wrist. I’ve literally not been doing anything strenuous - I work from home and haven’t done anything to have caused it. It came on really suddenly and I’m hoping it stops soon. Came on two hours ago randomly.

Sorry - should have mentioned it came on randomly 2 hours ago.

Could you have strained it eg exercise, massage, lifting anything?

Any other symptoms?

Which arm? Can be a sign of heart issues. Not to alarm you. Any pain in ribs or back?

Can you move it reasonably well?
Do you have a temperature?
Do you have shivers?
Are you cold and clammy?
Do you have jaw or chest pain?
can you move around the house/ go upstairs ok, with out getting breathless?
Are you generally feeling good, or awful?

if awful you may need to rethink and ring 111

@Soberfutures its my right arm. I have consistent tachycardia already which is currently being investigated. X

May be worth checking your heart rate and BP

I'd be ringing 111, now you've mentioned the tachycardia.

Ring 111

Go to hospital

Not a medic, but it is possibly coming from your shoulder. Check out rotator cuff, and dislocation and see if the symptoms match up.

I had this checked out and through an ultrasound found out it is calcification on my shoulder, excruciating 😭

I called 111 and they’ve sent an emergency ambulance and I am going to feel like such a time waster if everything is fine

Ok hope all is ok OP

Sorry to hear that. Is there a treatment for this, did yours get better?

Op that's fine it's better to be safe than sorry

I'm glad you're going to be checked OP, best to get a professional opinion.

Glad your getting checked, tachycardia can be serious

@Ncposting good decision

You're not a time waster. You've told medical services your symptoms and THEY'VE decided to send an ambulance. You've done the right thing.

Hope all is ok 💐💐💐

You've definitely done the right thing. Personal experience. Hope you feel reassured soon x

I hope everything went well OP, and it wasn't something serious 🩷

Not sure, it says most cases resolve simultaneously in 12-18 months but I can't live like this for that long... The doctor has suggested a needle inserted to wash away the calcification but the medical research I've read on this seems inconclusive...

Seeing a sports doctor tomorrow to hopefully get some answers.

OP hope you are ok???
