pain in my arm- what dr./specialist do I go to?

I have had this terrible pain running through my arm on and off for a week or so. For some reason it seems to really bother me at night and I have a hard time getting to sleep. tried advil, etc..., doesn't help at all. I thought maybe it's something to do with being on the computer often (carpel tunnel?) but it runs from my right hand all the way up my arm and is the worst in my shoulder. well anyway, I'm not sure if I should go to my regular doctor or go straight to a specialist (I'm sure that's what my dr. would tell me to do anyway) I don't know what specialist I would be looking for though Chat Icon

does it feel like a pinched nerve? (b/c i dont think tylenol/advil help with those) Chat Icon

i would definitely go to your GP first to see what he says- if youre not satisfied with what he says/does, then go see a specialist. but he may be able to tell you if its muscular, etc...

do you sleep on your arm? or with it above your head? that could have something to do it also.

feel better! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I would guess a pinched nerve, too.

See your Primary MD - she/he may send you to a neurologist or an orthopedist, depending on what she feels the problem is.
