Shoulder aches and weak arms

[Ellewoods33]

Do any of you suffer from pain in your arms and shoulders? Do you experience weakness in your arms while reaching?

I get flare ups where my arms ache and feel too heavy to lift even driving the car hurts as holding the steering wheel seems too much , also really bad tenderness in elbows ( gp says golfers elbow ! ) I've been diagnosed with pbc in September and started a low dose of urso and have only had one week of bad pain since then , had a liver biopsy yesterday as concerns I may have aih too ( no results till end of January) also have a referral back to rheumatoid dr ( he thinks aih) if no answer from hep dr . It's so frustrating isn't it ? Pain was wearing me down happy it's gone at the moment, hoping it stays away !! I have been on light duties at work for 12 weeks and trying not to over do things and rest when I need too , do think pain may flare up when I over do it . Hope you and I both get some answers x

Yes. My legs too. Right now my elbow is so sore, especially to touch.

That's me elbows so tender on the inside point which gp says makes it golfers elbow not tennis elbow 😂also having problems with left knee not sure if it " my pain " or if I've done something as it started on holiday in October when I did lots of walking , it's ok to walk on but so stiff and sore after sitting or turning over in bed going to get gp to check it out after Christmas if no better

Hi Ellewood 33; I had those same symptoms & was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis later. I found it very odd that I couldn't reach up with my arms, but soon had problems in many other joints, so I was referred to rheumatologist. He was the doctor that referred me onto GI as he thot my LFT's not behaving . I have very minor areas of psoriasis visible on my skin, nails are affected. When I've had flares of psoriatic arthritis, the pain is quite bad & seems to jump from elbow to shoulder, to feet, back to hands. Persist in finding out what the problem may be, who knows, you might only have an impingement in shoulder area. Good luck!

Exactly !! The pain in my shoulders is most painful thing I have ever had, “and o have broken my back” recently diagnosed with PBC , these geniuses say it not relevant, how can so many of you out there have same pains, yes had the pain on inside elbow also, that has been better for a while now, or just covered from shoulders, pain killers help but I awake at 3:00 am every night, so much pain it’s exhausting to turn over
