A member asked:

So after the weekend rest why is my arm stiffness and soreness not going away?

Dr. Amir Khan answered

Need more rest: Depending on the reason for your symptoms, a weekend may not be sufficient to achieve complete recovery. Continue rest, ice, and antiinflammatories. If symptoms are unbearable or worsen then see an orthopedic surgeon for clarity in diagnosis.

A member asked:

What could cause long-term arm soreness? For a few years, my left arm has been sore/weak. It gets worse with use, but also hurts at rest. I am left-handed and work a typical office job with a lot of time on the computer. 30F.
