What's causing the pain in my left arm?

There are many blood vessels and meridians in the human body, which are spread throughout various parts of the body and play a very important role in the human body. If people do not pay good attention to the care of meridians in daily life, or if they exert excessive force, they may damage the meridians. Many people will experience pain in their left arm. People need to understand the cause and then take measures to treat it. The following will introduce in detail what is going on.

This situation is mostly considered to be tenosynovitis, which is mostly caused by overexertion and strain. Pay attention to rest more, keep the hand and wrist joints in a functional position, minimize the movement of the hand and wrist joints, and apply hot compresses, physical therapy, and massage. If the pain is severe, you can take diclofenac sodium orally. It usually heals itself in about a month. Go to a regular hospital for treatment if necessary.

Tenosynovitis can occur in the fingers, toes, wrists, ankles and shoulders, especially in the wrists and fingers. Such as radial styloid sheath inflammation and digital tenosynovitis. Frequent activity or excessive exertion of tendons in a short period of time or chronic cold stimulation are the main causes of tenosynovitis, which is more common in women. Guidance: The affected area can be treated with heat therapy, massage and adequate rest for about 3 weeks, especially reducing manual labor that may cause the disease. Local blockade therapy can relieve early-stage tenosynovitis and should be performed once a week. If the above methods are ineffective or recur, a tenotomy should be performed, and finger flexion and extension exercises should be performed early after the operation to prevent tendon adhesion. No manual labor is allowed within 1 month after surgery.
