What Causes Pain And Soreness In Both The Arms From The Shoulder O The Elbow?

I have pain and soreness in both arms from the shoulder to the elbow. A doctor gave me enough medicine for about four days, prednisone ,steroids. In the fourth or fifth day the pain seemed to be going away. Next day my pain was back. I was also told to exercise the arms , which I have for a couple of weeks, no change. I have been told that a neurologist would be the best specialist for my problem. Please help.

Hi
It could be frozen shoulder both sides.injection depomedrol infiltration is usually helpful and phys therapy. Exercises help.

Take Aleve tab twice a day after meals for 10 days,take up physiotherapy.Inj depomedrol infiltration may be repeated.
Frozen shoulder is self limiting and does often takes few weeks to subside.Exercises after hot fomentation and application of muscle relaxant ointments or gels, gives best outcome.even voltaren gel massage helps.
Wait and watch..
As advised by your doctor, do seek help of a neurologist too
