Right Arm Extremely Weaker Than The Left After Getting Shock Therapy On The Right Shoulder. What Could Have Happened?
I have been getting shock therapy on my right shoulder by my athletic trainer at football for 2 days after practice, it has been a week now and my right arm is extremely weaker than my left. It s not sore nor is there any pain. Before this therapy, I could curl a 35lb dumbbell several times with each arm, now I can t even get it once with my right arm. What happened?
Hi..Drenn.. since you feel weakness in the right arm after shock wave therapy, stop the therapy immediately... weakness in arms is due be effect on nerves and muscles... continue with only general exercise.. you will regain the strength within a week...
Take care..
