Tension in arms..?

[Crystalhiggs]

Morning All, hope you had a lovely weekend!

I've noticed lately that I'm getting strong feelings in my lower arms, I'm sure it's tension. It's like they stiffen up and get heavy and uncomfortable, I want to shake them out. The only way I can seem to get rid of it is by meditating, so I know it's a psychosomatic rather than anything physical.

Just wondered if anyone else gets this? Xx

Hi Crystal,

Muscular tension sounds about right. If they feel tense and heavy it could be lactic acid buildup, just like we experience when we exercise. If so, stretches can help with this too and a warm down might as well like something light to get the blood pumping in those areas as you would normally do this after exercise.

Meditation helps reduce cortisol so it can certainly help and it's good you have found something that does.

I tend to get this with my back, diaphragm, skins, neck, etc.

A few days ago I convinced myself I had stomach cancer, as a result of that panic my arms and legs got real heavy and weak, O my, now I have ALS or MS! It is frustrating but keep your head up!!

Take care,
Jeff
