Over the last few weeks, my right arm, from just above the shoulder blade down to the wrist has been in pain. Most of the time, such as now, it's a 2 or 3. When I wake up, it's 4 or 5. If I try to reach behind me, the pain increases - I stop it around 7. When I cough the pain level clears 7, maybe 8.
I am a 46 year old male, in moderately good shape (cardio hikes 1 hour each 4-6 times per week with light strength training.)
Is this pain something that likely requires a doctor visit, or will resting the arm allow it to heal on its own? What are the likely causes & cures?
Thank you.
