What Causes Soreness And Heaviness In The Arms?

My arms are feeling sore like I have worked out or something. They have started now feeling like they are heavy just to pick up something or even to get dressed. I do work with my hands all day at work but have been doing the same job for over 4 years and have been out of work the last week so it's not work related.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to muscle overuse. I suggest to use a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using a magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation. I recommend to avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
