Suggest Treatment For Severe Arm Pain

I have a severe pain in my outside forearm when i try to rotate my arm or twist my wrist such as opening a door knob. I can move my arm up and down with no pain and flex my arm with no pain, only the twisting motion causes it. I noticed the pain almost immediately after lifting weights. What is causing this horrible pain?

Hi there, thanks for your question.

Pain on the outer aspect of your forearm specifically on rotatory movements, suggest a pattern of pain similar to that seen in tennis elbow. Due to repetitive stress of such rotatory movements , suttle micro damage happens to the flexor muscle attachments in outer apsexy of firearm.Test, Ice and analgesics help relive the pain. I would suggest you to strictly avoid rotatory or screwing movements of your forearm. You can use a band similar to tennis elbow band, applied about 2 inches below your elbow, where you can see the main muscle mass. Doing this over 4 weeks , you il have significant relief. If the pain still persists or the pattern changes. you need to see your physician for further tests.

Hope this helps.

All the best.Regards.
