Last night, at work i was lifting up things that have never been too heavy for me. I was pouring this bucket for about 5 min..that was about 5-6 lbs. Well my arms have gotten really weak lately. (I cant even do more than 4 CORRECT pushups.) Anyways right afterwords my arms were shaking like crazy (like i had Parkinsons disease or something.) Even for a minute, my legs began to shake. I felt soo weak like i was going to collapse. And even now, almost 24 hrs later, they are still shaking when i try to lift things that are only 3+ lbs. It also hurts about 4 inches from my wrist..almost like i pulled a muscle there. Ive been anemic for a year or two, and ive never taken any medication for it. I dont think its because of that or something that i ate. (My exercise and eating habits havent changed.) I think its more of a health problem i dont know about. I would see a doctor, but my parents wont take me. I just wanted to know if any of you had any idea what is wrong with me..or if youve ever experienced this before?

You need to see a doctor to find out the cause.
Self diagnosis just isn't an option for these symptoms. If you can't afford a doctor visit,
find a free clinic or one that bases fee on income.
Check your local health department for possible help also. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

If this dont help.. then i suggest you go to the doctors.. I hope I helped
