I was reaching for my pocketbook on the back seat and it was very heavy but i managed to get it now my arm is hurting and i can barely raise my arm ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arm Pain Reaching: You may have strained/sprained a muscle. The inability to raise the arm may mean you tore a rotator cuff muscle. Try to keep the arm in a sling, or in a position of comfort. Use an Over the Counter pain med from the pharmacy such as ibuprofen or naprosyn. Use according to label directions. Use with food to avoid stomach upset. Make appointment to see a doctor for further work up.
