A member asked:

I experience pain in arms, like muscle weakness and soreness. any idea what it might be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain: many things can cause this. Some of the more common ones would be hypothyroidism, an electrolyte imbalance, a viral illness to fibromyalgia. More rarer causes could be Lyme disease or poly myalgia rheumatica or PMR. See your doctor to discuss and for labs and exam.
