Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Pain In The Arm
My husband has pain and muscle weakness in his arms. Has to use both hands to lift a glass of water to his mouth in the morning. Then it eases up as the day goes on. Blood work is all OK. He has thalassemia minor. Would that cause it or something else?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe muscle pain in the arm. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle spasm , nerve compression or heart problem like angina . But in your case the symptoms are probably due to muscle pain. I would suggest you to orthopedic surgeon in case of bone muscle problem . Doctor will take history , order CT scan or MRI along with nerve conduction test . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , nerve supplement , recommend physical therapy and particular stretching exercisers . For now stay calcium supplement , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest. Gentle massage with sesame oil will be helpful.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
