Last one year I have muscular pain in my upper left hand and pain travels in whole left hand up to last two fingers. I noticed, while walking, climbing staircases and lifting gives pain into my chest close to underarm. It also hurts on my arm near the shoulder joint and behind. I feel the pain when press by thump.
