Anonymous - Male age 84 white. Upper right arm is painful when I use it extended, rotated and rearward. At least over the last year. No sprain or trauma
experienced. Have had coronary artery decease with coronary angioplasties 32 years ago. HDL is high, LDL controlled with statin. This feels like it is in the bone, not the muscle. My Mom had bone cancer, could this be that?Friday 08th January 2021 at 11:42AMReplyReport
