Pain shoots down my left arm!!!!!!

Need to go to doc and get it checked out, Ive only heard of pain shooting down left arm like that for heart attack/stroke. Its possible you might have had a mild attack/stroke and didnt even know about it. Not trying to freak you out, just trying to let you see how serious it could potentially be.
On the other hand, it could be something harmless, go to doc.
Good luck.

I have had kinks a time or two where mid back problems referred pain up my neck and I couldnt turn my neck and got pounding headaches. It used to happen every 6 months or so and I would go in and get aligned, after a few times I realed that for this to keep happening there must be an instability somewhere in my back where thepain originates. I have had it treated with prolotherapy a couple times (and I need a couple more) but it hasnt happened since.

I just got out of the hospital for 99 % blockage and my pain came from chest to middle of arm not in the back tricep area down to my hand left and right but more on left , it is prob coming from the way you slept and prob from the neck pinching off a nerve a HOT shower helps some.
muscle tension etc can cause knots and apply pressure to nerves etc an alignment can birng almost immediate partial releife (or has in my cases) and from there improves over the next few days. I think Chiro's have their place, but if a problem persists and you need to be continually adjusted then there is a bigger underlying problem that should be addressed.ike29 said:

As far as whether to think the worst and responding accordingly, one has to take a hard look at their family history. What's your Mom and Dad's history? Did they have heart disease or a heart attack and at what age? What's your age? Are you in a high risk group? Smoking, obesity, etc.?
If you're relatively young, have no family history and you are not in a high risk group chances are VERY good that it is only musculoskelatel in nature.
