A member asked:
After working out, i have strained my right forearm and can't lift a lot of weight (~30 lbs) without feeling lots of tension. how can i get back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time/massage: time will heal, massage the area with a lacrosse ball, drink lots of water and stick to lighter weights or exercises that do not directly use the forearms.
