What causes muscle pain in arms-it is NOT connected to any exercise or new movement or lifting?

Answer:
The other three answers were very good.Remember that arthritis is a diagnosis which at best tells you that you don't have a fatal disease because it's normal to have arthritis whether you are in pain or not.Most pain is caused by soft tissue problems.
Our bodies are like monkeys but we don't stretch and turn every day like they do and we loose supple flexible qualities in our muscles and tendons. Adhesions occur where cells don' t naturally release from a movement that required the muscle (and cells) to contract. Then you experience pain and sometimes range of motion problems.A neck problem can be local or.. the scalene muscles which go down the side of the neck have many nerves which exit there and go between the muscle strands to exit into the thoracic outlet (on either side of where the head plugs into the body). In the thoracic outlook (behind the collar bone) these nerves feed toward the Brachial Plexus (the arm nerve center).If the next had adhesions in the soft tissue.. or in the thoracic outlet... or.. down stream in the brachial plexus... or.. if any of the muscles in the shoulder or arm have adhesions... one will experience pain.It is very easy to clear these problems with acupuncture. Also, the soft tissue can ben completely corrected using Supertouch STR (tm) a breakthrough therapy that eliminates injuries so that one is no longer predisposed to pain or reinjury.so.. while it's true that "there is pain in the arm" is way vague.. I hope the outline of upstream to downstream helped you.Best Wishes!

If it's brand new radiating pain in the neck, back or arms, lower back that starts all of a sudden... you need to see a doc right away! It could be the early signs of a heart attack. I'm not kidding, GO!
