HI.. This Is My 1st Time On This Site.... I've

HI.. this is my 1st time on this site.... I've been having mild to at times sharp twinges in my rt arm, from my shoulder to my elbow, a few times down to the tips of my fingers. It started a few weeks ago & I didn't think anything about it but now it's constant, so much so that it's making things hard to do. I'm a 50 y/o disabled female & I'm not allowed to lift anything heavy, nor have I done anything to strain my arm. Note that a few weeks ago, I woke up w/ my left ankle swollen & very painful, again having done nothing to irritate it.. I went to the Dr on call & he dx'd me w/ tendonitis (sp?) but didn't take any x-rays or scans. I did tell him that it felt like when I broke my ankle years before. Anyway, should I be concerned and make an appt w/ my Dr or should I give it more time?
