Sometimes my left wrist/lower arm and shoulder gets sore because of how I drive, right hand on the stick and left hand at 7/8 on the wheel...i think its an unnatural position to hold my arm in for long periods, esp. with the shock of the car/wheel.

and, if you came in to see a doctor with left arm/left side pains/heartburn, the last thing I would think about is strain from switching gears lol. I hope he ran all the necessary tests/etc. before coming to that "diagnosis"
