What causes arm pain?

Experts point out that most people don't know what causes arm pain. There are many reasons for arm pain. In addition to factors such as carelessness in daily life, incorrect posture and trauma, we should mainly pay attention to the factors of disease, because if the arm pain caused by disease is not treated in time, it is difficult to get relief. Common diseases that cause arm pain are as follows:

1. Periarthritis of the shoulder: shoulder pain and difficulty in movement are the main symptoms, but as the disease progresses, the pain range expands and involves the middle part of the upper arm, accompanied by limited shoulder joint movement. If you try to increase the range of motion, severe pain will occur.

2. Rheumatoid arthritis: An acute or chronic connective tissue disease. The affected joints are mostly large joints such as the knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows and wrists. It is common for the disease to spread from one joint to another. The local lesions are red, swollen, burning, and extremely painful. Some patients also have several joints affected at the same time. Atypical patients only have joint pain without other inflammatory manifestations. Acute inflammation generally subsides in 2-4 weeks without leaving sequelae, but it often recurs.

3. Cervical spondylosis: It is a common orthopedic disease with neck and shoulder pain as the main symptom. The symptoms are very rich, varied and complex. Most patients have mild symptoms at the beginning, and may also experience dizziness, headache, numbness of the upper limbs, muscle atrophy, and in severe cases, cramps in both lower limbs, difficulty walking, and even paralysis of the limbs, urinary and bowel disorders, and paralysis.

Through the above introduction, everyone should understand what is going on with arm pain. Before examination, you cannot judge the cause of arm pain based on guesswork. You should go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis in order to get regular and effective treatment. Otherwise, random treatment may not be appropriate and may cause delays and harm to the body.
