No past history of such a problem, no medications, no visual disturbance, the pain occured mainly while resting, and in the past few months ive experienced lightheadedness with no fainting or falling, some tingling in the left arm that comes and goes, and thats about it

Hello

Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. In my opinion you are suffering from muscular spasm. There are a number of causes. Sometimes excessive activity can also result in such symptoms.If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

- ibuprofen thrice a day for 3 days
- take hot water in a rubber bottle and place it over the joint. IT will give soothing effect.
- Avoid lifting heavy weight.
- take oil and massage the joint. It will give soothing effect.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
