[|Human|] I have a pain in my front shoulder/armpit area, then travels through my bicep, to my forearm. It feels like it s either on the bone or in the muscle. I m not sure what caused it, but it has been around painfully for 3 months. I am a diabetic type 2 taking insulin and medicine, age 56. I wondered if that had anything to do with it or could it be a form of fibromyalgia? Should I get an x-ray, pt scan, or what? Thank you for your advice.
[|AI|]  Hello, While the possibility of fibromyalgia is there, at your age with those symptoms, it is far more likely an aging problem with the discs in the neck which than pinch on the nerves that supply the arm. In my opinion, an x-ray of the neck would be a good place to start. This will show if there are any aging changes in your neck that may be responsible for the pain you are feeling. Get well soon.
