How Can Severe Pain In The Left Arm Be Treated?
I took my husband to urgent care, he wrecked on his Quad. They said he has a broken rib and Scapula. Tryed to make an appointment with an ortho doctor, they wanted to see exrays first and the receptionist said the doctor did not see any fractures and made us an appointment in a week with a different doctor. My husband is in terrible pain and cant sleep of lift his left arm.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is difficult to say what it is, until examination is done.
He may have injured his glenoid labrum, pulled muscle or tendon rupture etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your physician/orthopedician they will do MRI of shoulder joint and also evaluate the cardiac cause of left arm pain and treat you accordingly.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
