Question : Hello,
About two hours ago, a sudden sort of sharp localized pain care on on the outside of my left forearm (about two inches below the elbow). Bring that I’m heavy of course I’m nervous about it being my heart, but since it’s only in this one spot on my forearm, should I go to the doc for a heart scare or no, since it’s not in my chest or jaw or anything?
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Not a major concern
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As per your description, I don't think think this is a serious concern.
A short course of oral analgesic pills should suffice for the moment.
Post your further questions if any.
