Neck/Arm Pain Question

‎07-23-2011 02:56 PM

Long story short....this has happened 3 times already, and the last time it happened I was at work (in the hsp) and went to the ER.....my EKG and BP were fine.

I'll be sitting, and out of nowhere I get this horrible pain down my arm. It feels like it's originating in my neck. The first time it happened it was in my left arm....the 2nd and 3rd time it was both arms. It lasts for about a minute or two and then my arms feel like they weigh 100 lbs. It totally passes after about 5-10 minutes.

I think I have a neck muscle spasm again. When I mentioned my symptoms to my regular PCP (about 2 weeks ago) she said my neck felt very tight, and gave me a muscle relaxer. I haven't filled the Rx yet....I'm a little scared to take it. I have an appointement with my ortho on 8/4.

Has anyone else experienced this?

TIA
