@kekso,
Perhaps you should go to another doctor and get a second opinion. People on the Internet are not going to give you any medical advice.

@kekso,
Maybe you might as well head off to an alternate specialist and get a second idea. Individuals on the Internet are not set to give you any restorative guidance.

@kekso,
It is better if you seek a 2nd opinion as causes of left arm pain could be any of the follows –
Heart attack, stress, poor blood circulation in the left arm, improper sleeping posture.

WHAT was his diagnosis????
I 'd find another doctor for a 2nd opinion.
Was there any discussion of blood thinners?

@kekso,
Any pain in your arm/shoulder will be looked at in regards to a heart problem however, just because that was ruled out does not mean that, that is the end of it, why oh why do Doctors do that.. You are left worried and wondering.

I agree with JC go and seek another Doctor's opinion advise that you had an EKG test and that was fine.. Ask them to do further tests.

Sometimes our body takes the brunt elsewhere, ie) the pain is in your shoulder but it actually could be stemming from your neck. Have you had a massage lately ? Chiro treatment, physio?

Another cause can be Fybromyalgia which is hard to diagnose but can be caused by a traumatic experience, physically or emotionally.

@kekso,
If you are not convinced with that doctor, I advise you to get it diagnosed from another doctor.

@kekso,
Pain in the arm can result from a number of factors. Abnormalities of the skin, nerves, bones, joints, blood vessels, and soft tissues of the arm can all result in pain. Sometimes diseases that affect other organs in the body, like peripheral vascular disease or arthritis, can be the cause of pain in the arm. Causes of arm pain range from mild annoyances to severe and potentially life-threatening occurrences, such as the pain from myocardial infarction and angina pectoris that may radiate (spread) to the arm area. Treatments for arm pain depend on the underlying cause.

Reasonable (from personal experience) but thought that would be doubtful for a 21-year-old.
