I'm experiencing pain in my wrist and fingers on the left side of my arm, and it's been going on for two weeks. I had an ECG and an echo done, and both results came out normal, but the pain gets worse when I move my arm. I saw an orthopedic doctor, had a neck X-ray, and they said it might be related to neck issues. I'm really concerned and wonder if this arm pain could possibly be linked to any heart problems?

Based on the normal results of your ECG and echo tests, it is unlikely that your arm pain is related to heart issues. The orthopedic doctor's assessment that the pain is due to neck problems is more likely the cause of your wrist and finger pain in the left side of your arm. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants or physical therapy to help with the neck issue.

I've been feeling this really weird cold sensation in my right shoulder since last night, like there's a very cold AC blowing right on it. This happened after I twisted myself a bit while trying to adjust my car seat's headrest, which was a bit awkward, and then I sat through a 2-hour movie. My shoulder doesnt hurt, and I can move my arm perfectly fine without any redness or swelling, but this cold feeling is just odd. What could be going on here?

It could be a muscular spasm. as of now, you can apply a diclogel over the area and take a tablet zerodol TH8 twice a day after food for 2 days. it should reduce, if it doesn't, then you need to consult a orthopaedician in person for further evaluation and management.
