Hi John,
My arm pain is like I have done a heavy workout and have the resulting extreme pain... more like a sharp soreness when I try to move. Lifting anything without supporting the lifting arm is painful and the arm goes weak (I drop things). If I keep the arms at rest, they then go to an
ache. Hard to explain. This condition started about 1-½ years ago all of a sudden.. I have had several pain killers prescribed which help at first - then become ineffective, I have also had
partial replacements on both shoulders. I have osteoarthritis which has predicated the replacement of both hips and a right knee, Hope this is enough information for you to
shed some light on my condition.
Sandy

Hi Sandy @antiquetx, I'm a patient like you and don't have any medical background or training so I'm not too sure how much light I can shed your condition. I can hopefully find some information that might help you learn more about your condition. Best yet if we can find some members here on Connect that have had similar experience with their arms going weak and dropping things. I'm wondering if @sueinmn @artscaping or others might have some thoughts or suggestions.
I did find some information and tips on exercises that might be helpful even though it is talking about folks that lift weights...
"Bicep/Tricep Tendonitis
A sudden, sharp pain in the elbow or upper arm shortly after heavy lifting is a telltale sign of a tendon injury. Bicep/tricep tendonitis are very common injuries, especially for those who lift heavy weights or use their arms in repetitive movement."
