Have Pain In Forearms When Lifting Weight. Stopped Gym. Advised To Take Rest. Remedy?
Question: Hi, I have pain in my forearms in my right hand. I used to the gym regularly but since the past one year i have stopped gng to due to the pain. i have also consulted couple of doctors who had advised me rest and said it would be ok. they said i dnt have tennis / golf elbow problem. The pain starts when i started lifting weights otherwise it is normal. Please advise.
Hi !
Thank you for your query.
Dear XXXXXXX
Looking into what you have given in history i think it is due to some muscle injury that you sustained during weight lifting . You havent mentioned what is the character of your pain , is it dull or it is accompanied with burning or pins and needles sensation , does it radiate anywhere or has there been any swelling anytime during this period
You said that it only occurs while you lift weight that is during a particular movement so there exists a possibiliy of tenosynovitis or tendinitis but it is very difficult to say anything just based on symptoms .
I advise you to go to an orthopaedician , get an X XXXXXXX hand done to look out for the cause whether it is bony or some muscular problems.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
