Cardiology problem, (Heart attack, Stroke, Subclavian Steal Syndrome. Mine turned out to be Cervical disc C5-6 . I had surgery 4 years ago and it resolved. Now the disc below that one is herniated with pain in my left arm and neck again.

If you do a search on left arm pain you will find this to be quite a common problem with Lyme and Co's. My daughter had it while treating babs and it eventually went away.

I had right arm pain. It flared up twice, the first time lasting a month. I believe it was lyme. I could not use my arm at all.

Left arm pain is a common symptom. Mine was deep pain in my left arm, between my shoulder and my elbow.

I have this, went to PCP, I have frozen shoulder. I'm sure Lyme is the culprit. I'm in constant pain and the arm is totally out of commission. He is sending me physical therapy in the home.

I've had this. I remember mentioning it to my doctor who asked me if I thought it was a heart attack. I said no, I just thought he should know. I always attributed it to lyme & cos.

My wrist got bit by a Rottweiller and for 4 years, I had left arm pain so bad it got labeled as chronic reactive arthritis... and I believed them.
The pain is still there. I realize now - arthritis at age 23 was probably a cop out diagnosis.

I have the same thing! It started in my elbow. I thought I pulled a muscle. Right now I am treating for lyme, bart and babesia and doing a parasite cleanse. Hoping that something eventually helps!

Any other heart symptoms I would get it checked without delay...
Cold sweats/radiating to jaw/weakness/dizzy/palpitations/ unequal or irregular pulse, etc.
If not it could be all kinds of Lyme symptoms..
Heat helped mine the most. But some alternate with cold.

Sounds like an inflamed nerve or neck nerve issues. I had a frozen shoulder that was , they thought RSD pain. It is 70% moveable now but hand is half paralyzed. I am going to see a neurosurgeon now. I have C5/C6 nerve impingement with bone spurs and I realize lyme is a factor but that bone spur is big and i will not go with a paralyzed hand as normal. Not everything is lyme but it is a factor always.
Frozen shoulders are horrible and can lasts up to 3 years. Pain so severe that people are on opiates to just survive. A great new therapy for it is called the Neil Ascher technique and it works !!!
If it is coming and going then you need to get a MRI on your neck to make sure the nerves are not entrapped..Also, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is another factor. I think most of this is caused by viral/bacterial beginnings.
