What Causes Pain In The Arm While Punching?

Hi I have the exact same question as below - is it a short term issue as the bone / muscles gets stronger - my break was 3 years ago and I still get pain using a punching bag? Get your Health question answered in 3 easy steps Hi, I am Dr. Herrick J. Siegel (Orthopedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your query and guiding you through the process. Please write your query below. Ask a Doctor Now 194 Doctors are Online Public Forum Home ยป Bones, Muscles and Joints Does punching and grappling. History of arm surgery, fixed with plate and screw. Pain on working. Is it because of muscle tear? I do mixed martial arts, which involves a lot of punching and grappling. Last year, I broke my arm and the surgeon put a plate and screws. A year later, I ve begun training again but I now experience some pain when I hit the punching bag or do some grappling moves. Is it possible that the screws/plates are rubbing against the muscle and tearing it up? Should I consider removing the hardware?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case history.

You will need X ray of bone where implant is placed.
There is possibility of impingement of implant along soft tissue.
As bone union is complete and implant is producing pain you can remove implant consulting your doctor
Clinical examination is important to know site of pain.
You can also send x ray photo on my profile.

So implant removal is best solution for pain if loosened or infected.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
