Answers:
Agree with Hayes 1c!. Probably something going on in your spine maybe neck!. burning pain is sometimes associated with nerve pain!. be aware regular pain meds often are not so effective for nerve pain!. Neurontin or other similar meds are sometimes prescribed by your doctor for pain caused by nerve involvement!. You may have arthritis, now sometimes called degenerative joint disease, in your neck or a slipped disk causing a pinched nerve!. Only specific tests will tell!. You may go to your family doctor, an orthopedic (bone)doctor or better yet a neurologist (specialist for nerves) and I don't mean emotional kind!. After you have a diagnosis, sometimes physical therapy can help!. warm moist packs or even a chiropractor!.!.!.!.That may be controversial (the chiropractor) but depending on the diagnosis can give you a lot of relief!. Try to let your twins climb into you lap as you sit instead of picking them up!. It takes some getting used to but it will prevent aggravation to your arm!. GOOD LUCK!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am by no means a medical professional nor anything close but the only thing that comes to mind for me is possibly a pinched nerve!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
