A member asked:

Why do i get a burning sensation in my arm after a work out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve irritation: Give weight at least a week before resuming and use OTC anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil or Aleve (naproxen) if not allergic. If the burning returns, it is related to nerve compression and you must be seen and evaluated.
