Question
My right arm hurts all the time. It feels like it radiates from the bone, outward. The pain is throbbing, and it sometimes hurts worse in the joints. It hurts from my shoulder all the way to my fingers. On a scale from 1-10 id say most of the time its about a 7-8. I've noticed it hurts worse the more i use it. I broke my arm when i was 4, right in the middle of the bone that goes from my elbow to my shoulder. Im not sure if this has anything to do with it. Thank you.

Dear Ashley,

Please respond with to the following question so I may further understand your situation.

1.  What is your current age?
2.  What type of pain?  (ache, sharp, dull...etc.)
3.  Anything that you do to help the pain?  Or what makes it worse?
