My left arm hurts on the top of my forearm when i move it alot or try to lift things what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendinitis or strain: If you are very active and lift a lot, or if you're engaged in sports, you can develop muscle strain in your forearm. It could also be tendinitis in your forearm, which often occurs near your elbow (as in tennis elbow) or on your inner wrist or in other areas. Take medicines like Advil or Aleve, (naproxen) apply heat and rest it for a few days. If it doesn't improve see your doctor for further evaluation.
