Does anybody hás weak hands and arms? My arms get really tired, tingly and painful when I hold things and it seems my hands are getting weaker. Sometimes I don't even have the strenght to hold my phone.

Ana it’s part of fibro. I went fishing on the coast and caught a beautiful redfish but i cud not reek the sucker in🤬
My arms were on fire and cramping, so disappointing. My buddy was confused when I asked to him to finish feeling it in..if only I was kidding! Sadly it’s something we have to factor into things. That being said it’s still important it exercise doing something, swimming is the best. I wish you the best:)

I had the same symptoms 3 years ago. I could not walk up a flight of stairs without my legs wobbling and the arms lost strength. I went for an MRI . The result was 3 disks in my neck had collapsed and was putting pressure on my spinal cord. Had nerve damage. I had to go for ACDF surgery. Because of the trauma my body went through it triggered fibromyalgia. I suggest you have it checked out.

I do some stretches before I go to bed on the muscles that cramp. Also take magnesium as a lack of it I think contributes to cramping. I wud do some googling on it, Dr Google has a lot of good information

I very much do. If I try to hold anything for a bit my arms shake. And forget about exercise. I can’t even do pushups without feeling completely fatigued and my arms shaky.
