Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In My Left Arm
I have been having pain in my left arm and hand for several days now. I thought (and still do think) it is probably a pinched nerve since I have no other symptoms. But the pain is the worst today that it has ever been. Any suggestion on what I could do to help the pain?

hi
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As per the history it appears more of a pinched nerve and needs a thorough clinical examination.
Also physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy should help reduce inflammation and pain. Exercises to regain the muscle strength in further stages should work well.
In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy.
