I have OA and Muscular skeletal damage wear and tear and severe whi0plash car injury ten years ago which i fully recovered from after one year. Recently 6 months ago i received the diagnosis above - title. I am told by GP Skeletal expert that OA and winter weather is forcing me specifically from my neck downwards to push my body muscles towards and to my feet. I have severe intermitant both arms pain specifically my less dominant arm from elbow upwards and downwards it also triggered by lifting anything even light weight. One medical person suggested my neck is causing this? I do 1 hour a day general excersises nothing found for arms any suggestions or such experiences. I have a dog gentle Lab size who pulls a bit on harness lead and avoid leading in weakest arm currently but still get arm pain regardless. Arm feels tender almost like bruising but none and burning sensation. I live up 6 flights of Flats stairs! concern.

Thanks ideas please

    Good morning @GalaxyA12

    There are exercises available here which are gentle, but your condition sounds quite complicated so I wondered whether you had seen a physiotherapist at all for guidance?

    While you wait for someone to come a long with their experience I am attaching the following link:

    One of our members is setting up a dog walking business and is or has invested in leads which lip onto your waist. I'm not sure a lab wouldn't pull you over, but I just thought I'd mention it.

    Best wishes

    Ellen.
