Calling all armchair ortho doctors

in Fitness and Exercise
I'm having the weirdest problem. I walk for exercise - about 40-60 minutes each session. Lately about 10 minutes in, my right arm starts to feel stiff, like there are weights attached, and it's hard to pull it into a bicep-curl position. The arm feels weak like this throughout the walk, and for about 20 minutes after I get home. Then it's fine.
It's not cardiac - there are no other symptoms. I feel fine otherwise.
What in the world? . . . . .

    As said above - you need to go to a doctor.

    ( I am a Dr, but you need to be properly seen and examined, it is IMPOSSIBLE to safely assess and treat someone over the internet).

    try walking with arm compression sleeves. they keep you warm when it's cold, keep you cool when it's warm and blocks UV rays to keep you from getting a farmers tan and skin cancer. the compression stimulates blood flow in your arms from keeping it bent for so long. I ran with them yesterday and loved them that I bought 5 more on amazon.
