What Causes Weakness In Arm Joint?
Approx 3 years ago my joints (arms) muscles suddenly got weak and I lost muscle fast and could not raise my arms up past my shoulders. This lasted for approx. 3 months and slowly I got some strength back. Before that I was always active and worked out on a regular basis for years on my own. I didn t even have the strength to do a Yoga plank position. It was scary. I am now 55 and I force myself to workout and I m extremely fatigued all of the time ...even the first thing in the morning. Do you think this is all due to menopause or can you make any suggestions?
