Arm pain

Recently my upper arm has been hurting/ aching occasionally on and off. The pain is in a specific part of my arm which is warm to touch. I'm 15 and have been googling symptoms which has made me worry. It is very occasional and not too painful but it's still worrying me. There is no lump or swelling where my arm hurts either. Is arm pain something to be worried about? 

  • Hi LivyM,

    I'm sorry to read you've been experiencing this discomfort. If you're worried, the best thing is always to visit your GP who is best placed to advise. Unfortunately no-one here is able to advise on what it may be.

    Also try to avoid Googling things as the information isn't specific to you and can often be irrelevant or outdated.

    Wishing you all the best,
