Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic HCM. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

I feel sorry for the pain you have due to this activity. Actually this is muscular spasm due to heavy weight lifting. Our muscles have a well defined power and a specific tensile strength. Everybody should have to work according to the capacity and physique he have got.

We can increase this strength and can make the body more strong with better endurance. Thats why weight lifters in the gyms can lift heavy weights. They have built their muscles gradually.

Management:-
Apply Bengay Ultrastretch Ointment on the affected area and massage it.
Apply ThermaCare Heat Wraps around the painful area.
Take Ibuprofen three times a day for relief of inflammation and pain.
Take plenty of water and give rest to your arm.


Hope I answered all of your questions. Please don't forget to add your precious positive feedback to help me able to assist you better in future too. Have a wonderful time ahead. Keep in touch for a follow-up too to let me know if you have any doubts & need further assistance. I am available 24/7 for your help. Have a blessed time ahead.
