What Causes Arm Pain After Lifting Heavy Objects?
Question: I lifted a heavy bag a few weeks ago and ever siince have felt pain in my arm particularly when i grip or twist my arm.
Brief Answer:
Sounds like tennis elbow
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible nerve issue.
I feel there is a strong possibility that you have something called as a tennis elbow. this comes after lifting something heavy and causes pain on rotational arm movements.
the best treatment is to give the elbow rest by not doing the rotational movement and by not lifting heavy things.
I suggest doing a NCV study to confirm the diagnosis.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution.
Best of luck.
Dr Mittal.
