Aching down the left arm.
I know, i know, go see the dosctor.........which i will.
However, for quite a long time, maybe a year or so, i have this ache down the left arm. Not always, but quite often.
Any thoughts.

Exertional. Do you mean when you exercise, or exert yourself. No, the opposite. Its when i do nothing. When i go running i dont feel it.

It could be nerve related. I used to get a horrible pain in my right arm radiating in to the back of the shoulder when I was using the computer mouse. It was that position that caused it, I got a laptop and avoided using the mouse. My guess was the position irritated the nerve. I've not had it since.

Is it like a shooting/stabbing pain, sounds like frozen shoulder/bursitis which i've had and it takes months to sort if not longer.
Get stocking up on anything anti inflammatory, mag oil spray is good. Also don't sleep on your side.

We are spending quite a lot of time seeing people in the busiest few days before Xmas with twice the usual demand because they've decided now is the time to reveal something that has been going on for many months. They are crowding out the acute problems like pneumonias, tachycardias, TIAs, heart failure, bacterial infections etc. From the comments above I can see why. That is why I gave the advice I did in post #2, but if I'm getting all this, the original poster's GP might want just another bit more inappropriate "emergency" demand too.

A surprising response from a GP, even one who is over worked and cheesed off? Most patients don't know they have 'viral rubbish', that's why they come to see you. However I am also aware that doctors do get a lot of total dicks in their surgeries too! But perhaps the tv ad, that has a GP telling us: 'We don't care how you tell, just tell us', should be changed to: 'We don't care what you've got, just keep it to yourself!'

There should be a very clear narrative in the press about what is and is not appropriate use of the NHS. It is imploding due to misuse. Even just a £5 fee would make about half the present demand appropriately disappear. Take it off taxes. Since car insurance won't cover you when drunk, neither should the NHS, you should receive the full bill for your treatment. That would sort A/E out in one fell swoop.

I would quite happily pay a few quid per doctor visit if that meant I could be seen quickly and have quality time with a doctor that wasn't frazzled to the bone.
Might stop all the time wasters clogging up the system
I spend £130 per month on BUPA and it's a shame I couldn't extend it to cover a private GP service that wasn't £100 per visit.

However, politics means none of this will happen.
