Suggest Remedy For Intermittent Teeth Pain And Pain In Arm

Posted on Tue, 12 Jan 2016

Question: Hi, I'm a 38 year old male. 5'11", 240lbs. Lately I've been experiencing pain that shifts from different areas of my teeth (sometimes too, sometimes bottom,comes & goes), I can experience pain in the area under my left shoulder blade along with the teeth pain or separately, & lastly I've experienced different pains down my left arm(arm pain can be felt in different sections of the arm too). I'm concerned this is all cardiac related but I've had a ct scan of my heart about 2 months ago & everything was ok. It takes weeks to get an appointment with a dr & this is consuming my mind everyday. Am I in serious trouble or is there a chance this is something related to nerves?

Brief Answer:
No serious problem

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Most probably, there is no serious problem. It can be related either to joint, or nerve problems. You will need an X-Rays examination to confirm the diagnosis.
The treatment will depend which problem will be found out. Sometimes a short course of non-steroid anti inflammatory medication therapy is enough.

Hope this was of help.

Wishing you a good health
