What to do when the top of your forearm is tight ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: If it is not terribly swollen, rest, ice, compression, and elevation are typical ways to try to self treat it. If it is severe, or associated with a significant injury, or if it associated with severe pain or numbness; I would definitely be seen.
