<human>: What could be the cause of a sharp intermitten shooting pain in the instep of my left feet. I have also developed a dull pain in my left arm which I feel when I attemp to turn my outstretched hand backwards. I am thinking this may have to do with my heart as it has been feeling sore at times.
<bot>: Hello, As this may not be related to heart conditions. In case to clear your doubt an ECG will be good to rule out along with blood pressure measurement. I think this will be due to two factors - one for leg - degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine and this causes sharp shooting pain. Correction can be done with simple exercises. Two for the arms - can be due to muscle weakness and can also be corrected by shoulder strengthening exercises. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
