I have had an aching left elbow and wrist on and off for a few days. It comes and goes, and sometimes the ache feels quite deep and sometimes it's more like a sharp pain. It's not there all the time.
The other day some 'helpful' person (not!) said I could be having one of those silent heart attacks - one where you don't get chest pain and collapse, but have aches and pains going on until you go to the docs. She went on to tell me about her friend who had aching arms and shoulders for a couple of days. The friend went to the docs and was told she'd had a heart attack without knowing it. This information is starting to freak me out.
I am trying to be logical about it - I might just have an aching elbow. But the negative thoughts are just biting at me all the time, I can't seem to convince myself it's probably just muscular.
Has anyone else had anything like this?
