It is often caused by the following reasons:

1) Rheumatism causes arm soreness. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as fosalin, can be selected according to doctor's advice.

Yes exercise 3 days a week I'm 71 years old in my younger years I was a powerlifter lifting heavy weights.

The most possible reason is that you injured your shoulders chronically, maybe osteoarthritis or rotator cuff injury. Also the nerve might be compressed under these conditions, leading to the pain in both arms.

I think you need to see a rheumatologist or an orthopedist to check your shoulder.
MRI should be done to clarify the specific injury.

Pain killers can be taken to relieve your symptoms such as ibuprofen.

Answer 4

What does the pain feel like, like a sting, burn or a sore? Is it consistent or paroxysmal?
Does the pain go worse with physical exercise? 
Does it go worse if you take deep breath? 

Comments

It’s like a pulsating pain in my upper arms

The most common cause is tendinitis or rotator cuff tear. First you have to get a CT/MRI scan. Then you should see a doctor to discuss whether it should be treated surgically or conservatively by physical therapy.
