Why are both arms sore?

I wonder if you have ever encountered this situation in your daily life: your arms often feel sore. There are many reasons for arm pain. Some are caused by physical diseases, such as rheumatism, and some are due to the lack of long-term use of the arms. Once the arms are used for a long time, they are likely to feel sore the next day. Next, let me introduce to you in detail the causes of arm pain.

Clinical "arm pain" is often caused by the following reasons:

1) Arm pain caused by rheumatism Rheumatism mainly refers to diseases that invade the joints, muscles, bones and soft tissues around the joints, such as tendons, ligaments, bursae, fascia, etc. Common ones include autoimmune connective tissue disease, systemic vasculitis, bone and joint lesions, etc. Among them, pain is the main symptom of rheumatism and an important cause of functional impairment in patients. The most common rheumatic pain is pain originating from the joints and their attached structures. Rheumatism often invades the joints, muscles, bones and soft tissues, leading to prominent symptoms such as pain, swelling, joint dysfunction and fever. Therefore, antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and symptom relief are the primary goals of treatment. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be selected according to the doctor's advice, such as Voltaren, Mobic, Lesong, Tianxinlide, Celebrex, Vanlo, etc. Moreover, the new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have good effects, high efficacy, and significantly reduced side effects.

2) Sore arms caused by monotonous labor. My neighbor Xiao Chen was washing and scrubbing at home. After a busy day, he felt sore arms, especially the outside of the elbow joint of his right arm. He didn’t take it seriously at first, but after the arm pain persisted for two or three days, Xiao Chen went to the hospital for treatment.

The medical name for "tennis elbow" is inflammation of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus or brachioradialis tendinitis, and it is named because tennis players often experience pain on the outside of the elbow. In fact, this is also a common disease among housewives. When they cook, wash clothes, or mop the floor, they have to use force with their wrists and forearms, and the force is concentrated on the outside of the elbow, causing traction and stimulation at the lateral malleolus of the humerus. Over time, acute or chronic cumulative injuries will occur at the muscle attachment site, causing "tennis elbow" and arm pain. The key to this kind of arm pain is prevention. Housewives should change their posture frequently when doing housework and avoid doing a certain action for a long time. If the disease occurs, be sure to let your arm rest in time. At the same time, under the guidance of a doctor, adopt acupuncture, physical therapy, massage and other treatment methods, and you can generally recover.

3) Cervical spondylosis causes arm pain. Cervical spondylosis is a syndrome common in middle-aged and elderly people. Its symptoms are varied and complex, but the main symptoms are pain in the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, and stiff neck, which lead to limited movement of patients. Patients with severe conditions may experience neck and shoulder pain that radiates to the headrest and upper limbs, some accompanied by dizziness, and severe cases are accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and are bedridden. A few people even experience vertigo and cataplexy. Arm pain is one of the common symptoms of cervical spondylosis. If you often feel arm pain for a long time, you should be alert to whether you have cervical spondylosis.
