My friend came over today and I did her hair for her and afterwards when I was cleaning up, my arms in the joints really ached all of a sudden then my arms became really heavy like lead weights and then they shook violently and I could not stop them, my friend said it looked really frightening as both arms were shaking uncontrollably and I could not work them tried to touch my face and missed.....I know it sounds funny, but it really scared me I rushed to the doctors and in my pidgeon french told him what happened, he thinks it is a trapped nerve this happend once before but only in one arm and only lasted a few seconds and was not anywhere as bad as today........is it possible to be a trapped nerve????? I must confess I am a little scared

That does sound a bit scary. As it affected both arms it might be because you had your arms outstretched for a long time while doing your friend's hair.
We had a cat (this is relevant!) that used to stand with a trembly leg, if you asked him to walk on a bit he was fine just seemed to trap a nerve in some positions.
I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Thank you offira, the trouble is my mind runs away with me as lost my brother when he was 18 years old to a brain tumour (not cancer) and silly as it sounds I thought oh God!!!!!! felt a bit sheepish it might be only a trapped nerve, but the thing is my arms were not trembling they were shaking violently and very fast!!!! going to take the anit inflammatory and make a note of when it happened in case it happens again |

How awful about your brother Gerry
It does sound like a trapped nerve - I've had it once in only one arm but it was very violent and very scarey as the arm is out of control. Never happened again.
Reckon Offira was right - the outstretched position probably caused a bit of a spasm. x |

| Hope your feeling a bit better about your scare today, nothing worse then when you can't make sense of what has happened and why. |
