A member asked:

Arm stiffness and tight forearm muscle. what are next steps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aerobic conditioning: The first step towards fitness is aerobic conditioning, adequate sleep and balanced diet. Subsequently, you can add a program of gradual resistive exercises. Both combined and associated with the proper diet, should gradually correct stiffness and muscle pain.
