Medical Questions > Arms

Question 1:Why does it hurt so much when you hit your funny bone?
Question 2:I have a tennis elbow. How can this be treated?
Question 3:For over two years I have had an obsession to scratch the outer part of my upper arm. I have changed my diet, toiletries, sheets, clothes etc., but doctors are at a loss, and nothing helps. Scratching makes it worse. Can you help?
Question 4:My twelve year old daughter has unusually hairy arms. On her reguest, I trim the hairs. Will this cause stronger or darker growth of hairs?
Question 5:I' ve got elbows similar to that of an elephant' s skin—greyish and wrinkly —but I' m only 18, not 81! Occasionally they become raw and painful, not to mention unsightly. Can I do anything about it?
Question 6:My arm has swollen horribly after an operation for cancer of the breast. Can this be treated?
Question 7:I wake up with pins and needles in my left arm most mornings, it settles after 15-20 minutes, but is most annoying. What can I do to stop this?
Question 8:I' ve had a frozen shoulder for months and tried everything suggested by my doctor. What do I do now?
Question 9:I have pain in my left arm between the elbow and shoulder. It is not only stiff, but agonising, particularly at night. The doctor calls it supra-spinatus tendonitis, and has prescribed Feldene, but these are not helping. What else can be done?
Question 10:After falling off a horse, my daughter dislocated her shoulder, but it popped back again quickly. The doctor said it was probably a subluxation and did not require any further treatment. What is the difference between a dislocation and subluxation?
