Hi everyone! Today I have been experiencing mild soreness and a feeling of weakness in my shoulders and upper arms. I didn't do anything yesterday to cause this, but it feels as though I was lifting heavy objects yesterday. Do any of you experience this? My health anxiety is through the roof right now-- I haven't felt this anxious in awhile. Any responses are very much appreciated :) Thank you!

@A MyFibroTeam Member, my weakness in my arms, I have that fairly regularly. Pain too. Feels like someone grabbed my upper arms, squeezed and caused a bruise. Gentle hugs!

Constant muscle weakness and sore upper arms is my most common symptom.

I have thIs problem , my upper shoulder area is where I carry most of my stress therefore; I am always most tender and fatigue in that area . My Rhuematoligist prescribed me some diclofenac sodium cream which helps a bit. I hope you get better soon.

Yes, I have the same problem.....when I said something to my Dr all I received from him was bloodwork and 'you do have fibromyalgia you know'. Lately I have had the trunk of my body feel the same as restless leg syndrome....it is weird!

This happens all the time with me. Connect with your body when this happens and slow down.
