I'm having this persistent pain in my left arm and shoulder that I've been dealing with for the past 34 days. It seems to start from my neck and sometimes even gets numb. It's starting to worry me. Could this be something serious? What should I do?

To be on the safer side, have an ECG done, just to ensure cardiac normalcy. The pain is most likely cervival radiculopathy, which means it is referred pain from compression of the spinal cord. You can take one tablet of Flexon MR after food if the pain increases in severity. Make sure to rest your arm and shoulder, and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
