Feeling Weak After Holding Weight?

[eyennyGlimmer]

When I hold something, for example, I was just holding my 14lb. dog for like 8 minutes, when I put her down my arm feels funny, it is like tight and crampy and very fatigued? Is this weakness? I did this before when I was holding a little girl and my whole body shook for hours after that. The heavier the worse it is... Does anyone have this? A little nervous..Now that I am using this arm, it is shakey and is really heavy to move...Nervous..Jenn

So true veritech!

Jenna,

I've had this happen on and off for years now. I'm not kidding.

For example: I've been riding horses since the age of 5. A few weeks ago while working with my trainer, I loped (galloped) a new, very young horse. After I got off (I was sweating from nerves, btw), my right leg muscle which hasn't been bothering me for a month, was in pain again. It went away the next day, but just the slight stress in my body made my muscle tense and pain again. I wasn't relaxed (even though I THOUGHT I was), but my trainer could tell right away from my whole body position that I was tense and asked me (before I could even speak) if I was sore!!

You would be surprised what subconscience anxiety can do to our muscles.
