Why do my arms still hurt after lifting weights a week ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rhabdomyolysis: You may have lifted long enough and repetitively to get some rhabdomyolysis. This takes longer to recover from. One of the byproducts is myoglobin that is toxic to the kidneys and can hurt your renal system.
