I live a couple of thousand miles from my mom, who I have learned is having shoulder (all the way across), neck and bilateral arm pains. This has been going on for a couple of days. She is overweight, under stress and doesn't eat well. I've asked her to go to urgent care now, or, at least to her doctor's tomorrow.
She has done nothing out of the ordinary to cause this pain and she took a Vicodin to relive it, but to no avail. The only inordinate factor is that my sister was away for a bit.
As far as her history, I know she has HTN, not diabetic, post menopausal (she's 65) doesn't drink more than a beer a week, if that, she is SOB most times with mild exertion, and will deny anything I've stated thus far.
