What is arm pain?

Arm pain is an uncomfortable feeling in one or more areas of your arm. It could result from an injury, disease, auto or work-related accident, or wear-and-tear due to aging. Arm pain could appear as:

  • Dull, aching discomfort
  • Sharp pain
  • Throbbing pain
  • Numbness
  • Tingling
  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Weakness
  • Instability
  • Radiating pain

 

You might notice visible deformities near the site of an injury. Arm pain can sometimes originate in other areas of your body, such as your neck or back. If you have radiating discomfort, particularly into your left arm, it could be a sign of a heart attack.

What are the common causes of arm pain?

A variety of factors can contribute to arm discomfort. Examples include:

 

If you suspect your arm pain results from a heart attack, seek medical attention immediately. Additional signs of a heart attack include chest pain or pressure and shortness of breath.

They discuss your symptoms and medical history, complete a physical examination, and may order blood tests, nerve tests, or a variety of imaging procedures, such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds.
