Arms That Have Never Straightened

[ginak73]

My arms wont straighten out, they look bent a little.  I've had people ask me to straighten my arms out and I would tell them, "They are!"  I didn't notice it but others have and now I'm look for answers as to what caused my arms to be like this.  My daughter does the same thing but her arms aren't as pronounced as mine so I'm thinking it has to be genetic.  Thx

Thank you so much for your response.  They don't bother me or anything, they just don't straighten out like everyone elses does. lol So I probably wont bother with getting them checked out by an Ortho.  Thanks again! ;)

Hi there!

Well, without knowing the relevant clinical details or a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to comment specifically on the situation. The observation could be well within the normal range or could occur due to structural anomalies with the arm bones or due to neuromuscular causes. You may consider an evaluation by a primary care physician or an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
