Aches and heaviness in upper arms

I’ve had the usual aches and pains for few years now

But lately my arms seem to feel like lead and my legs so heavy when getting up stairs.

My worry is my arms it’s from my elbow to shoulder, they feel so heavy to lift and day by day is just so hard.

Hi Twinkle26 when I had heavy legs, don't remember arms, I was badly anaemic due menopausal problems. I think you may need to arrange a blood test with your PCP to find out what's going on. Best wishes

Very sorry for your loss and that you also are sorting out her passing I lost my dear mum in 2014 and was executor of her will. The stress on top of our PBC is not helpful. I hope the process of probate etc is not delayed too much due to this dreadful virus.

Mum wasn’t insured and only rented she didn’t have much always looked after everyone else x just all the clothes and furniture.
