Over the last few years (7-8) my shoulders/upper arms have got very weak
Combination of being weak in general, along with lazy won't have helped

I first noticed the issue in 2008 when I started driving a company car regularly - my upper arm (right side) would get very sore and would last for a week or two before coming right and then getting worse again (rinse/repeat). It was never an issue while driving.
However I never connected the dots between car and arm, always assuming it was getting sore because it was also my mouse arm and I was now working full time in IT.

Forward to 2012, new job (still in IT) in different company. Found that spending the majority of my day sitting on the helpdesk was causing my back and legs to ache, as well as my arm
Eventually in late 2013 I found the perfect stretch to assist and while to this day I still have 'bad' days, it is mostly under control

In early June 2015 I purchased a new car - took it for a test drive, loved it and picked it up the next week.
Within a couple of days of getting the car I had the same pain in my upper arm/shoulder. Adjusted everything I could in the car, but to this day I can't seem to find a decent position in the car that doesn't set off my arm from getting sore while holding onto the wheel.


While I suspect the wheel in the car is heavier than in my last car, I suspect the issue is more me than the car due to all the other issues.


While I wait for my doctor and physio appointment times to arrive, I thought I would ask if anyone can suggest any simple exercises I could try to strengthen my arm/shoulder
