Upper Right Arm Dull Ache and ....
by Fred Fleuren
(Adelaide, Australia)
I've had this for a while now. The ache is spontaneous and is very dull and becomes uncomfortable, then appears to travel through my bicept when it feels cold. I get slight tingling also throughout the arm.
It than relaxes a bit but is continually there.
Any help or idea on this would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Fred,
The first thing is to decide whether this is a shoulder problem (does moving and using your arm hurt?), or is it a nerve pain from your neck (does placing your hand on your head increase or decrease the pain?).
Or both. Shoulder and arm pain often find their source in the neck or a first rib fixation which may cause tingling through the whole arm, as you describe.
The usual rule of thumb is: when you KNOW the problem is not going to abate of its own accord, then don't delay. Start looking for a good chiropractor in Adelaide. I'm sure there are plenty.
