What Could Be Causing Pain in Both Arms and Shoulders When Moving Them Up and Down?

Dear upendra kharwar ji,

Aapko dono haath upar-niche karne par haath aur kandhon mein kaafi dard ho raha hai. Aapki takleef samajh sakte hain. Is tarah ka dard sirf “nas ki problem” ya sirf “haddi ki problem” hai, ye bina examination ke confirm nahi kiya ja sakta. 55 saal ki age mein shoulder ke muscles/tendons, arthritis, frozen shoulder, bursitis ya shoulder impingement jaise causes ho sakte hain. Kabhi-kabhi neck ki nerve ki problem ka pain bhi shoulder aur haath tak aa sakta hai. 

Possible Causes

• Shoulder ke muscle ya tendon mein strain/inflammation

• Rotator cuff tendon ki problem

• Shoulder impingement, jisme haath upar karne par dard badhta hai

• Bursitis

• Frozen shoulder, jisme dard ke saath movement bhi kam ho sakti hai

• Arthritis ya shoulder joint mein age-related changes

• Neck ki nerve par pressure, khaaskar agar haath mein jhanjhanahat, sunnpan ya weakness bhi ho 

Abhi Kya Karein

• Kuch din heavy weight uthana aur baar-baar haath upar karna avoid karein.

• Kandhe ko bilkul immobilise na rakhein; pain ke according halka movement karte rahein.

• Dard naya hai ya activity ke baad badha hai to towel mein wrapped cold pack 15–20 minutes laga sakte hain.

• Agar stiffness ya muscle tightness zyada hai, to warm pack bhi 15–20 minutes comfort de sakta hai.

• Sote aur baithte waqt posture theek rakhein aur kandhe ko support dein.

• Heavy gym exercise ya forceful shoulder stretching abhi na karein. 

Treatment Kaise Hoga

Sabse pehle Orthopaedic doctor se shoulder aur neck ka examination karwana achha rahega. Doctor symptoms ke according X-ray ya doosri investigation suggest kar sakte hain. Treatment cause par depend karega aur ismein:

1. Doctor-advised pain-relief medicines

2. Physiotherapy

3. Specific shoulder exercises

4. Activity modification

5. Tendon, joint ya inflammation ki problem hone par doctor ke according injection ya other treatment

Shuruat mein har shoulder pain ke liye MRI zaroori nahi hoti; examination ke baad doctor decide karte hain ki X-ray, ultrasound, MRI ya koi aur test ki zarurat hai ya nahi.

Kab Turant Doctor Ko Dikhana Chahiye

Agar dard bahut tez ho, haath hilana mushkil ho, shoulder mein swelling/deformity ho, haath sunn ho raha ho, lagatar pins-and-needles ho, ya pain kisi injury/fall ke baad shuru hua ho, to jaldi medical evaluation karayein. 

Agar shoulder/arm pain ke saath chest mein pressure ya heaviness, saans lene mein dikkat, bahut sweating, chakkar ya jaw/back tak pain ho, to emergency medical care lein, kyunki kabhi-kabhi arm/shoulder pain heart problem se bhi related ho sakta hai. 

Upendra ji, agar ye dard baar-baar ho raha hai ya daily activities mein dikkat de raha hai, to ise sirf nas ki problem samajhkar ignore na karein. Proper examination se cause pata chalne par sahi treatment shuru kiya ja sakta hai.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
