What Causes Muscle Ache In The Left Arm?

Hi my name is Paul my question is about my wife Maria s problem. Every now & then her left arm will just start hurting. she say s it feels more like a nerve pain than a muscle pain. Now when she is at work it doesn t bother her really, by the way she is a Banquet server & does lift & carry large trays full of dinners to tables. she was fine today after she got home , but later on it became extremely painful a steady pain. is there anything we can do at home that might help this or do you know what this could possibly be. Thank you Paul

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be possible that she has a pinched nerve somewhere in the course of the arm. If the nerve is damaged or something happens to the nerve, then it will have pain.

Kindly get nerve conduction studies if possible and if you can't afford it or wanted home remedies, then take vitamin B12 tablets which help in nerve healing and growth. You can take Neurobion Forte tablets for one month after food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
