Why does my arm hurt like this?

We have everything here, including Doctors. Be patient. @shilolo is a Dr. Have you been wearing a backpack, or carrying things you usually don’t carry?

I’m going out on a limb here…
Muscle spasm?

There can be many things or may be nothing wrong. please see a Dr. because your health should by no means be left to guess work.

Shilolo has a lot of sound medical knowledge, but he says he is not actually a doctor.

Ooops, my mistake.

@nitemer – I can’t go to a doctor. My mom doesn’t trust them. This is the least of my health problems. see my other questions.

Your age and the types of activity in which you regularly participate would help a great deal . . .

@Jeruba really? Then is he a researcher? I thought for sure Shilolo was an MD specialty Infectious Disease.

I think Dr.C, magsrags, and there are a couple of more medical professionals on here.

Oh, medicalgeneralhicks is a wonderful LPN.

I’m 13 and I’m homeschooled so I don’t really carry a backpack or anything. I really don’t think I’ve been doing anything special lately.

@sarah826 If you take ibuprofen do you feel better? That would help muscel pain.

Do you have an arm?

I thought shilolo was an MD specializing in infectious diseases, too. A case for Hysteria and the Madness of Crowds?

@JLeslie I don’t know. I don’t have ibuprofen available.

@JLeslie Yes, I was of the impression that shilolo said he was a doctor, but nowadays refuse to discuss medical questions, due to people getting into arguments about his answers in those Q’s. I recall seeing him state that he was a doctor both on the profile and in threads.

What are your other health issues? That might help us. and how about a hot bath or heating pad ?

@faye Asthma and nutso parents.

@avvooooooo a hot bath still might help, can’t hurt, won’t bother nutso parents?

@Sarah Are you making any progress with getting some support with dealing with your parents on medical issues?

You may have slept on it funny and irritated a nerve.

I have better information now, thanks to a PM from shilolo. Turns out that I correctly remembered his saying in his 10k party thread that he wasn’t really a doctor, but I didn’t realize that the remark was meant as a joke. So I am guilty of disseminating incorrect information. Shilolo is indeed an MD and qualified to comment on medical questions. My apologies for being the bearer of misinformation.

Do you play a musical instrument? I sometimes overdo it and get weird arm pains.

I do play the piano, but I don’t really like it enough to overdo it.

I am a 12 yrs. cancer survivor, and have had many other health problems in the past. Without Dr.s I would have never be here to write this.
