painful arms - SaySally

Posted: Nov 23, 2011

The tops of my forearms are tender lately, sore. I increased the hours I am working lately and that's when it started. Any suggestions on how to help this and do you think it will eventually get better? Owie!

Rest, rest, rest! I've been through it many times over the last few years and the only real cure is to rest your arms. I know that's tough since we are paid for production, but if you push yourself too hard you will just end up with time off anyway due to pain. Also try icing and maybe get some massage therapy. If you can't take time off, at least be sure to take breaks every hour and stretch. Good luck!

During work, I put Icy Hot patches down my arm where that ligament/tendon is inflamed. Helps a lot, and so does a heating pad.

make sure you are getting enough exercise with the rest of your upper body to support the stress, e.g. swimming particularly with attention to stretching your back and using your lats really will help you in the long run. That stress has to go somewhere.

I had the same thing a few weeks ago with my lower arms, ibuprofen helped - nm

I am having a great deal of trouble with stiff and aching fingers and wrists - it is really slowing down my typing, which I can't afford. No insurance to go to doc. Just wondering if anyone with similar issues had non-med suggestions I could try, particularly for fingers. Any suggestions about wrist splints would be appreciate as well. I have arthritis in my knees so I assume this is what it is. ...

I was watching a yoga show ("watching" being the operative word) and the instructor said she had a great exercise for people who sit at a desk and type all day. You can do this in your chair. You hold your arms out to your sides and keeping them straight out, rotate/twist them back and forth within the shoulder socket. You go as far as you can one way, and then hold it for a few seconds and then go the other way as far as you can and hold it. Your palms will point down one way and up ...
