pain in my arm - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

OnePack · 21-02-2004, 01:18 AM

a few days ago i hit the corner of the bedside cabinet on my right arm on the area just below the elbow, extremely painful so i thought i'll leave it for a few days to recover but it's still quite painful especially when i try to lift something. i especially feel the pain when i press against the tricep near the elbow. a friend told me that o might have trapped a nerve. Any ideas and how i could best help it recover?

Not a trapped nerve, a bruised elbo.
Ice can help with inflimation and when you sleep keep it elevated.
Time will heal this wound and anything that hurts to do, dont do it.
RICE, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
If it does not clear up after a week then see a DR.

thanks hackskii. i'll give it some more rest, put some ice on it and elevate it, do u mean keeping the arm raised durinf sleep. and what do u mean by compression?
thanks once again.

he means compression...it's the same meaning over here as it is over there, the doctor will probably give you ibuprofen 400mg, and thats good sh1t, it's better than the behind the counter stuff

well dont press it then

. sorry mate couldnt resist that one. just folow what hackskii says and you should be ok.

**robdog** · 21-02-2004, 03:00 PM

do you mean the bone is bruse hackskii because i know that is a killer.

OnePack · 22-02-2004, 02:14 AM

right, it's about a week now since the injury and now i feel ache when i move the right arm, i'll give it some more time..

**hackskii** · 22-02-2004, 03:35 AM

I dont think it is the bone. There is alot protecting it. You will be fine give it a few more days. Elevation helps swelling as it is above the heart.
Ibuprofen takes inflamation away and inflamation does not hurt an injury, it is the bodys way of healing itself.
Ice is better, no stomach aches or liver damage there. Ice is more natural.
But a Dr. wont hurt either but give it a few more days.

Some people think that heat is good. For the first 48 hours.........always ice and ice only. If you want to use heat, then after the 48 hours that is ok. Start with ice and end with ice. Dont deviate. Ibuprofen is good. Like hackskii said but I wouldn't get into a habit taking it. I am sorry that you hurt. I have done that stuff and healed with no problem. Sorry to hear about that mate

no one will beat insane he is on every day and adds about 300 posts each day his average is up in the 13 a day range
i am still up there just not quite at as many
will keep trying though
also i would not recommend ibuprofen read some scary articles about that i lay off it
but its up to you
i suppose it is fine as long as you don't get in the habit
read some good past posts about it on here

winger · 22-02-2004, 03:21 PM

Ibuprofen is not bad if you dont take it to often. For an injury and you take it for a few days it wont do anything to you. Now if you take it for a year then that is a different story. If you take it for a few days it could help heal the injury. Ice is best. Both is better.

robin_3_16 · 22-02-2004, 03:24 PM

but it is an anti inflamoitory will stop muscle growth i heard
but maybe they were exagerating i just like to keep off that stuff too much of an easy solution
if ur in deep pain take it
my arm has been hurt around the elbow pit bottom of bicep area i have been giving it chance won't take anything for it
silly i know but just my choice!
and makes me feel better i guess
