Seeking medical advice from bonfire re: strained forearms

[loumeinhart 0]

Last week I looked and there I was on a wakeboard for the first time ever. The following 2 days involved painful forearms. Over the weekend I used these same muscles at the dz packing/jumping and now (monday) the underside of both forearms is swollen. The pain is bad when use the specific muscles/grip action.

So if anyone out there has watched Doogie Howser/House or spent time on the internet, please send me some suggestions. Did I pull muscles? Could I have seriously damaged my arms?

I thank you all in advance for your expert medical advice..

are they swollen and red? does it hurt to flex or move them in any way? does it hurt to poke them? are they sore when you dont move them? do they both hurt the same? or does one hurt more than the other? is the pain sharp? dull? does it radiate anywhere?

im not a doctor but i did stay at a holiday in express last night.

Yea... what mutumbo said.

Is it a pain, or a soreness? How often do you workout/exercise? Is it like an after workout soreness?

It sounds like you just overworked them and they're a little sore and inflamed. I think most physical therapists would recommend icing the areas twice a day for 5 to 8 minutes. Some motrin wouldn't hurt either.

Speaking of strained forearms.... Mine sounds different than the OP's. When I sit down and lay my forearm flat on the desk with palm face down, the problem area is almost on top at the elbow, from the elbow to about 2 inches down the forearm.

I can't pick up anything heavy, like a cast iron skillet and pull it up. That area burns like a motherfucker. Makes doing my home improvement projects or yard work a bitch to do.

I'm thinking a partially torn tendon or ligament? It burned even when I tried to squeeze a dense rubber ball, and I know the muscles that run the length of my lower arm connect to the elbow.

I still plan to see my doctor and get a referral, but keep putting it off. It's been like this since March, a day after playing 9 holes of FUCKING GOLF!!!

Get on the juice. It helps the muscles heal faster.

yeah if youve had that problem since march Billy I would get on that SOON, it could be and probably isnt anything they can do much for, but on the off chance that it is something serious, then putting it off isnt going to do ANY good.

I did think about it being tennis elbow. I also bought one of those support straps that goes around the forearm near the elbow. It helped some, but I don't wear it all the time.

But yes to all of the symptoms you listed.

Sounds like you may have strained one or more muscles (possibly the Brachiocardialis Supinator, sorry can't help it, working on my Personal Training Certification

You got that from Jurrasic Park didn't you?

thanks everyone so what I gleaned from the response was:

I'm going to meet Amstalder at a Holiday inn for a handjob after I shoot beefroids into my arm.

If she gives hand jobs the way she takes a dock, you might want to reconsider that..

By the way Ashley, how is YOUR hand doing?

[davelepka 4]

You're leaving out the part about being a professional piano player.

Between wake boarding, and posting this, how many hours did you spend playing the piano?

So you burned up your forearms trying to wake board, no big surprise. How many people have had sore legs for a week after a logn weekend of skiing?

Then you followed that up by playing the piano for hours, and doing how many tandems over the weekend? How many fun jumps? Did you guys do any 'evening' climbing mixed in there?

How about just giving your guns a rest? It's been a couple of days, how are you healing?

Any interest in making a dozen jump and dumps tomorrow?

I also slid down a wooden pole, you'll see the scraped wounds tomorrow and I'm losing motion in my left middle finger.

Jump and dumps yes I'm available all thursday

[davelepka 4]

No middle finger? How will you signal me in freefall? This is becoming a problem....

False alarm on the jump n dumps. Business as usual at the DZ. Maybe skip the DZ all together, and have a Dr check out that middle finger, and your arm situation in general.
