|Does anyone know why my shoulder muscles and neck muscles hurt as if someone beat me up when I drink 2 or 3 wine coolers? I quit drinking them, but, I need to know an answer as to why it does it to me. It also makes my upper arm muscles hurt. Never my lower body. Hmmm.|
Symptoms include painless weakness of the limb muscles closest to the trunk and the girdle muscles, including the thighs, hips, shoulders, and upper arms. This weakness develops gradually, over weeks or months, without symptoms of acute muscle injury. Muscle atrophy, or decreased bulk, may be striking. The nerves of the extremities may also begin to break down, a condition known as alcoholic peripheral neuropathy, which can add to the person's difficulty in moving.
|I was interested in the comments about muscle pain when drinking wine coolers. I seldom drink alcohol in any form but one evening a friend brought wine coolers and I experienced unusual muscle pain. I didn.t understand the connection and on another occasion tried drinking these again. The same thing happened. I was interested to see that this has happened to someone else. It seemed very stange.|
