Suggest Treatment For Discomfort When Seated Upright Or While Walking
I am a 60 year old male. Sunday morning I woke up with pain in my upper left are (triceps muscle). It was fine after I started moving around. Now I experience discomfort in the Left tricep whenever I lay down, no discomfort when seated upright or walking. I have been exercising as normal,no problems with pain in the arm during exercise and no shortness of breath. It only bothers me when I lay down.

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your query and understand it.
First of all, I admire your fitness at this age. This type of pain is muscular pain in some particular position. So, I suggest you to change the position during lying down. In this type of condition, physical examination is necessary, so consult an orthopedic surgeon.
Till the time of consultation, some pain killer like ibuprofen is advisable. It will be helpful for your temporary relief in pain and apply Voveran gel (if no allergy). Just simply apply it. Do not rub it. Also apply an ice on affected area.
Hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query and further queries are always welcome. I will like to resolve them also.
Wish you good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
