What Does Pain In The Left Arm Indicate?

I have been having pain in my left arm. I injured my arm by running into a car door several months ago, but it seemed to go away until recently it sort of aches once in a while throughout the day. I am a healthy person otherwise, but I just thought I would ask.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Shoulder joint involves number of bony structures,tendons ,ligaments ,tendons & muscles.
While you injured the joint any of these might have been injured....
'being recurred after primary recovery.. indicates exertion /stress to injured part....healing of the injury needs finding the exact cause &extent of the damage done.
You should get x ray/MRI of the partdone..which will pin point the causative factor.& specific management would be possible for complete cure.
Consult an orthopedic doctor for more specific advise after actual physical check up.
Thanks.
