Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I've been dealing with upper arm discomfort on both sides for nearly a month now, accompanied by a sensation of weakness. Despite still being able to use my arms and legs, they feel notably heavy. Additionally, I've been experiencing numbness in both hands along with shooting pains that extend from my elbows to my hands.
