What Might This Be?

[PurpleParis]

I have noticed over the last couple of weeks that the tops of both of my arms ache when I wake up in the mornings. Now I sleep on my front and do rest my head on one of my arms but have done this for years, so why would it hurt now? I was told by my GPS a couple of years ago that I probably have arthritis in my neck (although no tests were done) so could it just be arthritis spreading down to my arms? TIA

It could be, but i like the explanation given in the link by grasscarp above, although the exercises are a bit "faffy" and the bit about magnesium, nonsense. You pain certainly sounds musculoskeletal and if bad enough, a simple analgesic tablet or gel may suffice.

It could be due to wear and tear in the neck bones, but at this stage, any tests would not be helpful.

My Brother advised what this could be....as i had forgotten he had it a few years back. Could it be rotator cuff injury Sqad?
