for several months now, I have been having pain in my arm whenever I reach for something, it feels like a tearing muscle. just recently when I was tested for PAD, they found that the pressure in my right arm, was only 76 as compared to 107 in my left, could the two be related. everyday things, such as tucking in a shirt in the back, or trying to brush my hair in the back cause severe pain
Hi, Thanks for providing the brief history of you since you mentioned you already tested for PAD and the pressure was varying from arm to arm. I do not think this should be the case.Maybe you have tightness of the muscles which is not allowing it to happen. Try doing some stretches for upper limb and do some hot water fermentation. If it's just a tightness it will surely come down. Suppose in case if it is not coming down then you should try meeting an or tho and get self assessed once at least. May be certain times, due to the tightness of the muscles, there might be some nerve entrapment and also most of the people have trapeziums too. You can get treated for that as well and the pain can be taken down. You can even visit a physical therapist who might help you with the case of you after doing a thorough assessment.
