Right arm means not heart attack, right? Sorry for the numbness, I think I know the feeling and it's icky.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

What is even happening?
Pains in the left shoulder and/or radiating down the left arm are the heart symptom, as far as I know, -t.

That's what I thought, Cindy, but then I thought maybe I had gotten that info from movies or somewhere and it might not be reliable. Thanks for confirming.

I thought women didn't tend to get that kind of symptom. Or maybe it's just that they tend to ignore it. I don't really remember. And what do I know, anyway?
Happy birthday, Laura!

What if you're almost completely certain those pains are due to muscular wackiness, and that a trip to the chiropractor would fix things right up?

Women seem to exhibit some different symptoms than do men, but they get the "classic" symptoms, as well. My grandmother had terrible shoulder pain, in the heart attack that finally killed her. I was with her. I think sometimes we don't get the extreme chest pains. I have also heard one of the symptoms of a heart attack is denial that one is having a heart attack. Take a moment and ponder that one.

I swear my last post about the denial thing was a cross-post.
How long have you been having the pains?

For a couple weeks, but they've gotten really bad (as in, bad enough for me to take some ibuprophen & put a ThermaCare patch on) over the past few days. The pain starts at the base of my skull and goes along the left side of my neck, on the front & back of my left shoulder, and some pulling/soreness/tension in my left pectoral.
I'm going to the chiropractor on Thursday. I am not having a heart attack. I'm not. Not, not, not.

I think it sounds like neck/shoulder wonkiness, particularly since it goes to the base of your skull.
Stupid question to the hivemind...If the pain's been going on for a couple of weeks, wouldn't that sort of rule out if was anything else?
