Whole right arm hurting after weight lifting. what do you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest, ice, elevation: And some nsaids, like ibuproffen or aleve (naproxen) do see your pcp to ensure you are okay with these meds.. Do continue exercises of the arm, but keep them a notch or 2 less than your optimal, till symptoms subside. Then gradually build up to the same level as before. Some like to use a heat pack. Good luck.
