I am concerned about soreness/pain in the muscle of my right arm. It hurts if I try to open my arm from a bent position all of the way. I notice that it gets worse with any activity - this past weekend my arm was extended to hold my 2 yr old s hand as we walked through a park. After that, the muscle still hurts, is sore, and I have to open my arm slowely to avoid pain. What should I do?
Hi there. You could be suffering from Tennis elbow or elbow joint arthritis. Apply warm compress or hot water bottle to the painful region. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant like Diclofenac and Thiocolchicoside for relief from the pain and muscle spasm. Avoid lifting weights or performing any wringing activities. Consult your Orthopedic surgeon to get a proper physical to find out what's the problem.
