my shoulders muscles are very sore on my left side to the touch. Can this cause my whole arm to be painful all the way down to my hands?

This can occur as there are nerves that can carry the pain into different locations. I don't know what you are doing to help with the pain, however you can use MOIST heat, ibuprofen and just rest the shoulder etc. If there is no change by Monday, I would see your doctor for further evaluation, as you may need a prescription strength muscle relaxer.

Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don't forget to click the *ACCEPT* button and leave *POSITIVE* feedback.
