Owie! I'm having major upper arm pain today. Trying to work is not so easy when I'm having cramps in my arms. So, poor me! Sad

Ouch! Do you take muscle relaxers? If not, give your doctor's office a call and see if they'll call in an Rx for you.

I get them in my legs and my torso but the worst I've had in my arm are twitches...they're just annoying.

Didn't bring my heat pad with me today. I'm beginning to wonder whether the air conditioning in here is causing this. I'm always too warm so I hate to complain about the air now! I do have muscle relaxers but can't really take them during the day at work. They make me too sleepy.

But I just found out I'm going to have to drive my daughter to a doc's office about an hour and a half away this afternoon so I'll be in a warmer environment (my car) so maybe the arm thing will quit.

Red, so sorry sweetie. I get arm pain along with leg pain and it's just horrible. Feels like cement attached to my arms rather then spasms, for me anyway. Hope your day gets better Smile
