Arm pain and electric sensation in my arms
Posted , 5 users are following.
hello! i am having for a couple of days another symptom back. my left arm, shoulder, elbow and fingers are killing me with pain and i have an electric sensation in my arms tendons, the ones from my wrists up. it s so painful and uncomfortable at the same time, makes me cry. on top of that my breasts are swollen and the left one is painful. i would like to be able to start a hrt, but my gp says it s not the case. my hormonal tests came back in normal range. no inflammation present. the only things are the bursitis in my left shoulder and elbow, the nodules in my breasts and my all over painful body. i have 3 good days a month for the last year. any advices? the pain is also bad for you? i feel like a have some bands tighten my arm on the length of them and a burning/ electric sensation. it sounds like i am crazy, but i am not. the pain is so bad and awkward at the same time.

Hi Malina,
I have been getting this for a while too, the menopause has caused all different symptoms, but this arm thing has been bad at times. Sometimes when washing up its like someone has pulled an elastic band on my arm it is like an electric shock I have been told its quite common. Ever since I have been the menopause I have had aches and pains, but like you the arm one is strange, like you say its like an electric shock. You will be fine, for some reason, many gp's won't prescribe HRT I have had to go to a homeopath to try and help with my symptoms. Are you taking any menopause supplements, I have been told that Magnesuim helps.

thank you for your message. i am thinking to try and take bc pills and bring my hormones back on track. i have a fibroid in my uterus and some nodules in my breasts. my main problem is the arm pain, the shoulder and my burning palms. i think my estrogen level is low.

I have only about a good week a month. I have tingling sensations in my head sometimes. Acupuncture and herbs seem to help a little, but it's been a hard 2.5 years. I'm just shy of 42. I also have a super stingy heat feeling that covers my face, arms and chest. I think it's a hot flash? I only spot for two days a month, but my blood work is in normal range.

thank you for your message! i recently started to have that stingy burning on my face or on my body. it lasts for 30 seconds, but it s so uncomfortable. my palms are achy and burning, my left arm and shoulder are constantly in pain. i think that for the last year, i only had just 30 good days, if i ignore the small other issues. i cannot wear a bra, sporty, comfortable one. i have days when i feel i am 80 years old, not 40.

malina you are not alone. today and yesterday are the only 2 days out 60 that i had no pain on my left side, arm breast etc...its unbearable to thr point i want to cry. this is not fair. worst of all, i cant motivate myself to go for a morning walk or do any exercises. i use to be slim and had a nice figure and now the weight is struggling to leave😩 with the arm pain i have to take 2 Tylenol extra strength to ease the pain. plus my period weighted for 60 days to come and when it finally came last week, i felt so mucj better and looked in the mirror and saw the old younger me.🤗 i just want you to know that i know exactly the pain you are feeling. last year i turned 50 and it was down hill . try hot showers and warmer on the arm , its helps.

hello gilly and thank you for your message. i have days when i think i am not going to make it and that i ll die of a terrible illness. i cannot believe that the electric and burning sensation can be because of a hormonal imbalance, unconfirmed. my estrogen is 86 in my 3rd day of the period. i think is low, but my doctor is happy with it. i ll start taking a bc pill and see if it s better. my left arm is hating me and i hate it, so we need to make a truce. hope we ll make it in the end, we don t deserve to suffer like that. take care! malina

i never thought of BC ? my mother told me when she went through hers, her doctor at the time gave her an estrogen shot and that worked. she said she never felt better. after this covid thing let up. im going to ask my doctor for a shot.
i take B12, vitamin D and iron to help with my low estrogen levels.
i also hope that since im working from home and less stress, that the pain will subside enough so i can feel like my old self.
