What is the reason for arm and forearm pain

If arm and forearm pain exists for a long time, it will seriously affect the health of the body and one's life. Therefore, many patients want to fully understand the reasons for this situation. The following content provides detailed answers so that you can fully understand the causes.

1 There are many causes of arm pain, and most can be traced back to one thing - muscle fatigue. If the pain is severe on the first day and better the next day, then there is nothing wrong with it, but if the pain comes back for no clear reason, then it could be arthritis.

2 If the pain gets worse, you may have a fracture in your forearm or upper arm. You might think that a broken bone would be easy to feel, but people often break a bone without realizing it, for example, from a bump or fall, until you suddenly feel pain from increased activity or pressure on the injured area.

3 One of the most common diseases for arm pain is tennis elbow, which is a type of "tendinitis", an inflammation of the tendon tissue around the elbow joint (the same condition can also occur in the knee joint, and is generally more likely to occur in housewives and those who do housework). Arm pain caused by bursitis is easier to identify because the elbow symptoms caused by bursitis include warmth, tenderness (painful to the touch), and painful swelling of the elbow. When suffering from tennis elbow, although the elbow becomes useless, there are no such symptoms.

4. 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.

5 During 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.

6 The upper arm itself is difficult to be injured because this part of the muscles is well developed. The direct cause of upper arm pain is usually biceps tendonitis, which is when the tendon near the shoulder is worn or strained, causing sudden and severe pain in the biceps in the upper arm.

The above content comprehensively introduces the reasons for arm and forearm pain. Therefore, for many patients, after the occurrence of this symptom, they must pay attention to it. After fully understanding the cause, they must receive treatment as soon as possible to recover as soon as possible, so as not to affect their physical health and their lives.
