Upper arm pain. HALP!

[Kiro]

Halp me fitness guru-type BG folks.

Upper arm hurts a lot, I haven't been able to do push-ups or lift weights or even go swimming. Pushing open heavy doors tends to hurt my arm as well, even simple things like reaching for something makes it hurt.

Circled area is where the pain is. I've been stretching a bit longer than usual on this one arm to see if that helps, do it every morning and evening. So far it hasn't done anything to help the pain. DID I RIP SOMETHING? :<

i find it funny everyone turns to bg for medical information, webmd it or goto a dr.

and if this has been going longer than a week then u probably strained it or tore it

Id cut back the self love for a bit.

Have you done anything physical recently? Throwing or Tackling? Fishing?

Possible Lymph node is swollen?

It's Lupus. It's terminal, and it's contageous. Go find a nice corner somewhere and die. Can I have your stereo?

Seriously, go to a doctor, a walk-in clinic, something, and get yourself checked. Muscle pain is nothing to screw around with, especially if it's been this way for a while, and normal activity aggrivates it.

Smoke more weed Kiro, doctors orders. No but seriously, stop lugging around QP's of dro and you should be ok.

I know how you do man.

[Seraph]

Sudden new pain, or was it gradual? Just curious. Either way, it's a higher power smiting you.

[archibaldcrane]

If you've been lifting weights, you probably strained or partially tore something in there. You don't always realize it right when it happens, could just feel like a pinch or tightening at the time.

Throw some bengay on it and make yourself a fish sammich.

Rub some tussin on it

ITT: Reasons why America should socialize healthcare.

[Kiro]

Every response in this thread made me smile in one way or another. I knew there was gonna be a fappin' joke in there somewhere.

More weed? If that's what the doctor prescribes then it shall be done! I probably did strain or rip something since I lift weights / swim 3-4 days a week. Hence why I have been laying off the weights. Guess I haven't been stretching as much as I should be.

This guy begs to differ.

Possible lymph node. Go to a fucking doctor before you die.

Funny story, one of my lymph nodes (back of my jaw, left side, under the ear) swelled up to the size of a fucking walnut in the span of about 36 hours over the weekend. Went to an urgent care center to have it looked at and the PA there said that he normally sees one a year, but in the last month, he'd seen 4.

I learned that lymph nodes are these little battlefields all over your body that fight off infections. If one is swollen, tender, and sore, it's losing.

It was also stated that if a lymph node is swollen but not tender or sore, you've got bigger problems to worry about.

We give the same advice a doctor would, minus the $50.00 co-pay. He will see you, poke you and say "It looks like [insert terminal illness here] " and write you a prescription for Bengay +1 that you again have to come out of pocket for for 40.00.

Save it, buy a sack and play Xbox.

Lymphoma looks gnarly. Oh well. Stickin' with weed and bengay +1. People always assume the worst. BITCHES KEEPIN' HOSPITALS IN BUSINESS WITH YO' FEAR. I'm gonna ask my Mom to take a look at it since she used to be a massuese / physical therapist 'cause now I'm scurred. ;~;
