Burning down arm

5 replies

Hi , I’ve been experiencing an awful burning if I stretch or extend my arm in the sense reaching out for something . I was on a flight yesterday and stretched up to turn the air con and I had this awful burning pain that goes from my elbow down to my finger tips , the pain lasts around 4 seconds
Has anyone had this ? I’m seeing my Dr on Friday

Could be a trapped nerve in your elbow or shoulder or inflammation in the nerves or joint

Shoulder pain, might be onset of frozen shoulder or just a strain. There are basic exercises online which may help in meantime.

Thankyou , I don’t know what I is but I’ve never had anything like it . The pain only happens if I stretch my arm it’s a burning pain

I had this when I injured my shoulder, it went down to me little finger and gave me pins and needles, try not to use it if you can until you see the doctor

I had this and it was the start of a frozen shoulder.
