I've been getting occasional pain in my left arm for a few months. Sometimes in my forearm, sometimes in the crook of the arm. It feels like a twinge, isn't agony or crazily intense, but gets painful enough to elicit a bit of a grimace. Typically lasts for about a minute or two, then goes away, and usually comes and goes over about 15-20 minutes.
Could this be bass-related? Does it sound familiar to anyone?
I've been to the doc because I was initially concerned about my heart with it being in my left arm (there's a degree of sense in my thinking that, honest!) And he took my pulse, blood pressure and even ran blood tests, then declared my heart to be tip-top. So then I got to wondering if it could be some kind of RSI from playing bass...although it almost never hurts WHILE playing bass.
Any thoughts?
