We will be in touch
Recently started going to the gym again, very light core stability work + lots of cycling. I seem to have aggravated something in my arm but nothing to stop me continuing with the weights.
Anyway, I subsequently tried to show my daughter how to do handstands (last Wednesday) and it hurt a bit so I stopped. Almost immediately after, it was followed by her falling off the kitchen table and my shooting my arm out to try to stop her. The pain almost made me physically sick - intense pain around my bicep but it seems to shift around my upper arm and into my shoulder. I have never had an injury to this arm before (t'other one has had a couple of rotator cuff injuries from biking/snowboarding) but up till this incident I haven't got any underlying injuries to flare up (that I can recall anyway).
Since then simple tasks like opening a door or wiping a kitchen worktop seriously hurt - basically any motion that requires a 'push' or 'pull' movement. Other than that it doesn't hurt that much at all.
Any ideas? Never had anything like this and it's really annoying me.
Lots but you'll need to see you're GP as Internet diagnosis gets me into trouble.
Shoulder Impingement maybe
A great big **** off needle is the treatment 🙂
I have avoided needles as much as possible in the past - always managed to suffice with anti-inflammatories and I hope the same will go fo rthis one.
I hate getting older...
BTW - I have the same thing
Some weeks it's impossible to use my arm, others not too bad
I put it down to starting kettle bell sessions last spring
Getting the needle next week 😐
Sorry I cant help but if you do find out what it is please post again, I had something similar a while ago (though I have had in the past a few offs onto the same shoulder, not quite separated but soft tissues.
if you get your fingers and try to push them deep into the side deltoid (about where you'd have normal injections), does this also kill? - mine did.
I had a similar incident getting a round in the pub where I reached forward to pick up the pint and felt a searing pain so much that I didnt know whether to be sick or cry (manfully hid it), and no, it wasnt the wallet in agony!
You should ask to be referred to a shoulder specialist. I had various pains for years. In may I had a total shoulder replacement and they found the long head of my bicep was detached from the bone and had shrivelled too far to be re attached!. So far with physio I can lift my arm 90degs. No where near above my head!
Ebola
Thank god it's not cat aids then.
You've torn a muscle? Thatsthe first symptom of Ebola.
You actually do have cat aids. The bad kind.
Necrotising fasciitis.
Plague. End of.

Just had the needle 🙁
TBH - totally painless, hopefully I'll be cured.
Mine is still hurting - will be going to the docs if it hasn't started to settle by the beginning of next week.
Stab in the dark, but I'm going with Rotator Cuff.
No, not rotator cuff (had that twice so I know what it's like) and I can easily lift my arm quite freely above my head.
100% not that.
*tears up application for Med School*
😆
Still, it means my gym visits are now limited to non-stop spinning bike sessions.
Speaking of which, going to do an hour....
Bear - I hope you haven't ripped up that application yet - I spoke to the gym manager last night (he's a physio) and he thinks it is the rotator cuff 🙁
Must just be a different area that's effected.
Or he could simply be as ignorant as me. 🙂
😀
I don't care, he pressed one tendon and 'hey-presto', I could suddenly move my arm again.
Black magic I tell ya!
****yitis,
The stuff about gym work is just a front isnt it?
