Lately I’ve been struggling with arm fatigue. Originally it was my left arm and hand but now it seems to have shifted to my right. It’s just simple exhaustion when exerting almost any amount of energy. For example, holding a pot of water, brushing my teeth, drying my hair, carrying my laptop bag, it feels like a fatigued/burning muscle feeling. Even flipping through clothes in my closwt makes arm tired (mainly bicep abd tricep). When rest it, i feel better but as soon as I start using it again… read more

Please see a Dr to be sure it is NOT your shoulder. A tendon tear can cause what you just described!
Omg, yes! I’ve complained for yrs about pain in my right shoulder & arm . I requested an ultra sound and found out I have 2 tears & tendinitis 🥺. I have no idea how this happened. I do not remember falling or jarring my arm or shoulder. I am not a sports person..I’m wondering if fibro can cause this to happen??
@A MyFibroTeam Member if it was a tendon tear, I think you’d know because that pain is totally different from fibro pain I find. I have torn my right rotator cuff completely and that is excruciating pain and having surgery twice cause it retore, restores my understanding it is a different kind of pain. Now I have torn my left rotator cuff and I’m awaiting MRI’s and appt with another surgeon cause my previous one won’t touch me cause my shoulders are a mess! So yes I believe it is just fibro pain or you’d know it. I also get the fatigue in my arms all the time like you and I’m so glad you said about drying your hair and moving clothes hangers cause I think sometimes I’m crazy! Lol. I hate clothes shopping cause after moving hangers in one store, I’m ready to go home!
Happens to me all the time. Sometimes the burning pain is so bad I wanna cry. It makes it hard to fix my hair or drive even because my arms go numb and start burning
I was having that and went to an orthopaedist doctor. I had bulging disks in my neck, and he put me through physical therapy which helped me a lot.
