A member asked:

What could have caused my right forearm to feel extremly sore like a torn muscle for no known reason noticed it when i woke up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odd position: Many times when tired we sleep in unusual positions. Most likely you slept with the arm pinched for a long time causing psi in the morning. Consult a physician if the symptoms do not resolve quickly.
