hi there , My left arm is killing me , just able to type with one arm , my arm is fluttering just below the shoulder also my chest on the left side is sore to touch and it also flutters and when it does it just like a mini electric shock , i have put deep heat cream onto my arm and side of ghest , but this just helps for a while ,and then its back to square one .

I need this pain in arm to go away for the driving test on the 7th june or might have to cancel , after all this is the arm that does all the steering .

please help

    A nervy, sickening numbing pain with soreness to touch? I get it in my shoulders and arm down to the elbow, just arther biting! Rest, warmth and painkillers, no overstretching, lifting arms or overusing yer hands/arms. a couple of weeks and things start to settle, a hot bath is heaven or a hot-wheat bag. Sleeping on my side or swinging arms when walking is all a no-no.

    Keep smiling.

    thats good to hear that it will settle , THANK YOU, was going to try a shower, see when you put your arm out stright boy is it sore ( it makes you want to cut of your arm ) but as that is a no no just have to let nature take it course
