Muscle Pain, Loss Of Strength, Lower Back Pain, Doing Heavy Labor At Work. Is This Arthritis?

I'm over 50 and for the past 2-3 years I have lost lots of strength and have muscle pain.
I do heavy labor at work and my hole body hurts by the end of the week. lower back hurts so bad sometimes I almost cry.. my forearm muscles don't hurt until I have to swing a hammer Its almost like the muscle is fighting heavy use.
my arms fall asleep when i sleep at night so i toss and turn a lot I never feel like I have rested good in the morning I'm afraid its arthritis . can you help?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your problem but this is not a arthritis but it may be a muscular pain, heavy work during day time is responsible for accumulation of lactic acid which then causes pain later on, the best way to come out of this drink soda water at evening time, try some vitiamin supplements this will also helps, beside this you need drink a lot of water in between, have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
