If Tony's left arm has been established as a symbol for the minor injuries that he ignores in favor of the larger picture (saving the world) for you, PLEASE go back and watch IM1 starting from when Tony gets off the plane, specifically watching for how Obie interacts with Tony's left arm.
Spoiler alert, it's not gently. He bumps into it regularly, touches it, holds it. Various times, Tony is talking and Obie finds a way to put a hand on his shoulder. Obie hugs Tony on his left side, for pictures and in private. Obie physically pushes Tony's shoulder to make Stark face him.
For an injury that is verbally refrenced once in the entirety of the MCU, Stark's left arm might have been a standing point of concern in the blocking and stage directions for Obie and Tony's interactions

“‘I am iron man’. You think you’re the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you’ve become part of a bigger universe. You just don’t know it yet.” “Who the hell are you?” “Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I’m here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.”

Iron man 1 is so good bc it has a really good redemption arch. (Ppl who seriously think he didn't have anything to redeem, you ARE the problem.)
Anyway, yes, it's a really good redemption story, bc how do u redeem a billionaire? And not just any billionaire, a weapons profiteering billionaire. Someone who was dubbed by the media as "The Merchant of Death", how do u redeem such a man? Yes, he's a genius and yes he does charity work and yes he supports women and free sexuality and yes he's hotter than you grandma's traditional bread right out of the oven but to us, regular ppl, he's an arrogant, self centered, slut that has more money, brains and power than God and he's getting ppl killed!
So how do u make a 39 yo white man-child that has been in this business since birth, aware, responsible, and regretful of his actions and shortcomings? It had to be a situation of enough magnitude that affected him so directly that it pulled him right out of the sewers he had been swimming in.
The guilt? The pain? The responsibility? That's all to be expected. It can never go away bc he realized he had affected the world in such a horrible way for such a long time bc he was busy throwing a 2.5 decades long pity party.
