What Causes Pain In Upper Arms And Shoulders With History Of Osteoarthritis?

I have similar aching in both right and left upper arm and shoulders. Where I used to be able to do 15-20 push ups with only a little effort it is now very painful to do one and I can barely do 10. After I mow with my push mower both areas ache. It also hurts when I raise my arms even with and above my shoulders. I am a 47 year old white male. I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knees and hips. I am having my left hip replaced in 2 weeks.

Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my level best to help you.

As you have pain in both right and left arm and shoulder, and you have osteoarthritis of knees and hips. May be this pain is due to local tissue damage , ligament damage or bony damage.
I suggest yo to take rest for few days in gym. Do not use heavy weight in gym. Also take Tab Dan P for pain. Take healthy diet with good nutrient , and good vitamins.
Also use hot water for shoulder if you feel pain.
If symptom continue than consult a good orthopaedic surgeon for this.

I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
Dr Vijay
