Most likely your shoulder blades are sore to if you applied pressure. I have sore arms all the time and it is from the main source of joint paint. Mainly caused by tension and stress. You are under alot making this quit count. Take a hot bath or get a good massage. Careful not to massage the actually upper arm muscles too much though, it could be a calcium buildup known as bursitis and that just worsens it. I would work on light massage or the joints in the upper back and neck and you will feel relief in that arm. Hope you feel Better. Muscle Tension is another thing I deal with All the Time.

I've had a severely sore right elbow since my quit, and am suspecting it has something to do with sleeping patterns while using the patch. Arm in the wrong position or something while I sleep.
On the contrary, I used to have very sore muscles following exercise, thought it was a chronic back and thigh injury and once the oxygen started getting to it following my quit, these 'injuries' are becoming almost non-existent.
Not sure if that helps any?

My neck and shoulders are tight, as that is where I store my tension, but that doesn't sound the same as you are experiencing. Are you sure you haven't been lifting something? I had one arm sore at the beginning of my quit, and wondered what it was, then remembered I had carried some really heavy stuff a couple days before that. Since my brain was off-duty that first week, it took awhile fore me to remember what I had done. :8o:

my friend who stopped at the same time also had the same problem
in her arm.
lots of things crop up and we forget until someone reminds us
only lasted a few days though.

Maybe you need to relax. That was
kind of funny. But it is a ajustment
for our body and mind.I haven't herd
anything about sore muscle's. Herd of a
lot of other things.
I got shingles. I think from my
quit. If it keeps up go to Doc.
Your 9 day's are supper.

I experienced some muscle weakness, I guess you could say. But I realized I was clenching my fists and my shoulders were sooooo tense. Are you sure you are not subconsiously tightening those muscles? See your Dr. if it keeps up.
