I am also have a problem with my upper left arm. It feel like it is a strain. It is hard me to lift it up very high. It hurts in the mid. Of my upper arm. And it is so sore.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. I will advise you MRI spine to look for nerve compression. If your MRI says herniating disc then this can lead to compression of exiting nerve root which later on supply lower limb [leg]. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it. Neurotropic medication like methylcobalamine and pregabalin will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. Spine extension exercises will help you. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Take care.
