Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of arm pain with high cholesterol level, I would come up with two possibilities, these include: 1-Cardiac problem should be excluded by doing ECG and ECHO as High cholesterol level is a cause for atherosclerosis which is a risk factor for Ischemic heart disease. This also because HD mostly present by articular pain to left arm.2- Myositis in the arm muscles and this can be treated by muscle relaxant.Also, you should do plain x-ray to exclude any bony problem.
