What Causes Recurring Pain In Arms And Muscles After Doing Regular Activities?
Question: hi, I have been battling this for over 2 months. but my muscles in my legs and arms are very sore even after just doing dishes. I have a good grip but when I'm done using my muscle it hurts and is very sore for no reason. I don't work out or have any reason why my muscles would be this sore. please help me
Brief Answer:
Can be due to electrolyte imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Repeated pain in the arms and muscles after doing minor daily chores can be due to dehydration, muscle fatigue, decreased vitamin D3 levels or electrolyte abnormalities.
You need to drink sufficient fluids and also see that your intake of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium ) is sufficient. You can drink Oralyte for this.
Other factors are
Poor fitness levels and lack of regular exercises
Poor nutrition and obesity
Some times referred pain from bulging discs in the neck is the reason.
In case the pain is persistent then do consult an orthopedician for few blood tests and detailed examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
