My arm
« on: January 13, 2010, 07:32:25 PM »

Its been a year ago that I lifted something from my pick up that injured my forearm on top of it like a pulled muscle, but it never got better and has continued to worsen in the last few weeks to the point of not being able to use it for nothing much more than typing. It has sharp pain even when I don't use it. The pain seems to start at the top part of my elbow which is extremely sensitive to touch but goes all the way almost to my wrist but mostly in the center of my forearm.
  Has anyone ever had this sort of thing that can give me some advice. Silvia keeps telling me to go to the doctor, but I'm hard headed about that.
 I know that pulled muscles don't last a year, so does anyone have a clue what this could be? I wouldn't be asking, but its getting very bad with no sign of getting better.
 Home remedies, suggestions. Do we have a Doctor in the house?

Could you have pinched nerves in there or could you have a hairline fracture? I got a hairline fracture on my hip once as a teen that took years to stop being sensitive.
I also fell down the stairs a few yrs ago hitting my coccyx bone so hard it took over 2 yrs before it healed.
Face it Roy, we're old.  :-* :-[

Hey Roy,

              I understand about being Hardheaded about going to Doctors, my right shoulder bothers me  and seems to have something to do with my Biceptal Tendon which runs from the Bicep muscle and attaches somewhere in the shoulder joint. I use Ice and Ibuprofen, but the shoulder joint and rotator cuff are very complex, so I don't really know for sure what's wrong. Had to change my whole weightlifting Routine, as a result of this.

             Now, regarding your Forearm; is it the side where the palm of your hand is(Forearm Flexor) or the top of your hand side(Forearm extensors). Did you injure it doing something. Perhaps it's related to your wrist area. Their are exercises to strengthen the Forearm Flexors and Extensors, hopefully you don't have carpal tunnel, maybe arthritis is setting in. Not to sound gloomy, but after 50, our so called Male physical invincibility diminishes. Let me know, if you want to.

                                Kind Regards, Samson.

P.S. Had to modify my Post, I see you picked up something, could be a muscle strain, due to imbalance of the opposing sides of Forearm, in other words, one side is too strong for the other, or could be due to a Mineral deficiency.

I'm going to study carpal tunnel. Isn't that nerve damage? Just today it has started working its way into the top of my hand hurting as I move my fingers. Silvia suggested I talk to a friend of mine that is a chiropractor, but I can't keep from thinking this could be something serious that will force me to see a  specialist.

Roy, just be careful with that if it is some nerve damage or something you don't want it to get to the point where it can't be fixed! nerves take a while to heal, but anything needs time to heal and it may be a little physical therapy will help...at any rate, be careful that you get that taken care of!!  :) No real advice, just concern!!

Roy - it's been a year!!!
Go see a doctor - if you tore the muscle it won't heal unless it immobilized.
Be safe and see a doctor.

Hi Roy,

I had a similar pain many years ago after hacking off the rendering of a house. In the end I had to have an injection in my elbow. In fact I've had injections in both my elbows and both my shoulders and they have made a big difference. The problem that I had could have been due to having played a lot a squash as well.

A woman has contacted me via e-mail that has been browsing the forum for awhile, but hasn't introduced herself yet. She is a registered nurse massage therapist and has dealt with these type of injuries. She has offered to help me. She even provided her phone number to coach me or Silvia in trigger points and how to deal with this. Isn't that really nice of her? I look forward to seeing her join us soon. I'm going to call her today because so far I'm still able to play my guitar, and Noel and I are about to start recording music. I can't let this pain stop me from doing that. 8)

Peace

Hey Roy,
I did kind of the same thing a couple years ago.
Was lifting a big can at the dump, and my right arm made a popping noise at the forearm. Hurt really bad for hours, then eased off some.
The next day a large bruise was on it, and though it didn't hurt as much, I had shooting pains when extending or reaching.
I have a 6 pound dumbell, and began doing over the head reps. 30 or so, with both arms, a couple times each day. This helped a lot, haven't had any more pain in the arm for about a year or more now.
May God bless

Hi Joel,
 I went to a therapist. She worked all the trigger points but it didn't do anything.
In my case the more I use my arm the worst it gets. I'm thinking I have no choice but to go to a doctor, but first I'm going to try a natural pain solutions Doctor that Silvia likes so much. I went to him last year for a solution to quit smoking and he placed these little acupuncture needle patches in my ear that I was suppose to wear for a month. My ears got really sore from it. The whole time I'm thinking how in the heck can I quit smoking with needles in my ear. It was a joke; to me anyway.
 But just to indulge Silvia I'm going to go see him. She won't let up on me.
Thanks for the advice anyway.

Peace
Roy

Hi Roy.

It might be something else. Maybe your arm was already injured before you thought it was due to over use. A common injury with guitar players is called RSI. Repetitive Stress Injury. Here is a link I found explaining it a little.

http://news.guitarojam.com/musicians-health/overuse-injuries-guitar-371/

I got this one time from playing my guitar and did not know it till after the fact like days later. It did last at least a year and I did not go see a doctor. Maybe it would have heeled sooner if I would have quit playing but I was hard headed about it. I did eventually give up on trying to play due to the pain. This might not be what you have at all, just passing on the info. Hope your arm gets better.  :)

Hi Stacey
 Thanks for the info, but the only thing that doesn't bother my arm is when I play guitar.
I did over work this arm a lot last summer doing landscaping.
I know its going to be one of those try this and that before it gets healed.
