What Causes Painful Weak Sore Forearm?
Hi ,my left arm seems to be getting weaker and sore even in my sleep-most pain in my forearm.I have had a bit of it in my right arm but is not so bad now. I am a machine operator and have not had much exercise this year. I would like to but the pain is too much and I don't know if I'll cause more damage. Any thoughts?

Hello,
I have studied your case. Pain in the forearm can be due to weakness or can be due to overuse. You have not told me in detail about your other illness. I would suggest you get a compression bandage for forearm and avoid putting pressure on one side. You can also take Brufen tablet for pain relief. Hot water fomentation and Volitran gel are also helpful. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other follow-up questions.
thanks
