Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had pain in the front of my right arm for months now. I rented a carpet cleaner and cleaned 3 levels of my home pulling it back and forth and it has hurt ever since. I thought it might be carpel tunnel but it isn t my wrist that hurts, its the front of my arm. It hurts to pick stuff up and sometimes I am afraid I will drop it. I was on a bowling league and I had to take ibuprofen each week just to get through it and it was painful. I looked at some braces and a ring that goes around the arm below the elbow. I think it is the muscle because it hurts to press on my arm below my elbow. Any thoughts?
As per your symptom and history there is possibility of acute muscle spasm in neck or there can be cervical disc compression. Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain associated with it.
For these symptoms muscle relaxant with analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your treating doctor. Till time take rest and continue analgesic available over the counter take rest, and hot fomentation. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. You may need to do MRI cervical spine if symptoms persist.
