1. What causes arm pain?

1. Shoulder and arm muscle spasms: Shoulder and arm muscle spasms are often caused by local cold, long-term work with the head down, long-term computer operation, incorrect sitting posture, etc. Because of maintaining a certain posture for a long time, the neck muscles and joints are always in a tense state, which can easily cause symptoms of shoulder and arm pain. Over time, it will cause changes in the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine, which can easily lead to cervical spondylosis.

2. Periarthritis of the shoulder: In the acute stage of periarthritis of the shoulder, symptoms of shoulder and arm pain may occur, which are often lighter during the day and heavier at night. However, it is often accompanied by limited shoulder joint movement.

3. Cervical spondylosis: Cervical spondylosis often presents with intermittent limb numbness or pain, and persistent soreness is rare, but the possibility of cervical spondylosis cannot be ruled out.
