Disease description:

Since getting up this morning, my hand has felt persistently sore and swollen, and I’ve been unable to fully straighten it. Lifting even moderately heavy objects causes soreness, pain, and weakness. Could you please explain what might be causing this?

Hello, soreness in the arm muscles may result from improper exertion during exercise, excessive strain during physical labor, or may be associated with a cold. If you have not recently engaged in heavy manual labor or intense physical exercise and this symptom has appeared suddenly, it is possible that it is related to a cold. We recommend visiting a hospital for relevant examinations and, following a definitive diagnosis, receiving appropriate treatment. We hope this information is helpful to you, and wish you good health.
