arms heavy, like they weigh a ton(i'm 124lbs) my shoulders ache. I am awakened at night with pain
My arms are heavy, like they weigh a ton(i'm 124lbs) my shoulders ache so horribly all day. I am awakened several times during the night from wringing pain not just in my joints, but the whole extremity, leg or arm. I have sle/ra? this body pain? what can I do??
Ugh. So sorry!
As you probably know, sleep, and GOOD sleep, are very important in helping us recover; as well, our pain scales climb when we don't get restorative sleep. Maybe ask your doc for something to help with that??
Have you been assessed for fibromyalgia?

I go through the same thing! It's an awful feeling, I know. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer, I wish I did. I take Lodine 3xday for inflammation & I've gotten better. I still hurt all the time, but not like before. At least now I'm able to force myself to try to go for a walk or stretch daily. Maybe you can ask your doctor about it.
And even though you hurt a lot, keep trying to do shoulder & neck rolls, and other stretching, throughout the day!
