Sore arms after working out?!?

Hello

I'm a licensed massage therapist and will try to answer your question as best i can with the information you gave.

1) Yes...sounds like you overdid it. You should trust your instincts, as it sounds like you know that overworking your arms made them sore.

2) Sounds like you can't straighten out your arms because your arm muscles are tight and shortened due to overuse. If the pain is directly in your elbow or shoulder, then it could be the ligaments ..which attach bone to bone....or the tendons...which attach muscle to bone. However, it sounds more like the muscles and treatment is the same...just that tendons and ligaments take longer to heal.

3) Try doing arm stretches to get them back to their proper length. Monitor yourself not to overdo it.

Ice is for inflammation...heat is for muscle. Usually the first three days you use ice for inflammation then heat for muscle. Yu're supposed to switch from ice to heat because the swelling goes down. U can try both and see which works better for you, though. no real harm done if you use either.

Also,, try self-massage of your arms. You don't need a professional to massage your arms. ..gentle squeezing.

4)No...you shouldn't go play golf until your arms feel better...yes...you will make them worse. Try not to use your arms much aside from the stretches. I don't like to directly contradict a response, but working out more at this point isn't a good idea. yes it's true the muscle rebuilds itself and working out is ok if there is mild soreness....but if you can't stretch our your arm and painkillers aren't getting rid of the pain then you are past that point and need to rest your arm.

5). If it continues to hurt and does not seem to be getting any better, u should see a medical professional. (i dunno...i guess after 10 days or so)

No golfing until your soreness has completely subsided.

Two hours is WAY too long to work out. Period. I can't see any scenario where a 2 hour workout is beneficial. I was a high school and college athlete (and wannabe bodybuilder later in life after my sports period passed) and never had a workout that long.

Microscopic tearing of muscle fibers occurs during weight training. It is the recovery time that repairs this phenomenon and actually builds the strength component. There isn't much you can do if over the counter pain relievers aren't helping other than getting down into a bathtub or hot tub and gently straightening your arms after you have heated them for 10-15 minutes. 72 hours is about the minimum time to start using heat in opposition to ice. Expect this for about another week but each day should be better than the day before. Good luck. Lesson learned I am sure.

Sore Arms After Workout

I'd say workout some more. Not that extreme as before but workout your arms again. This will help you to build muscle because the muscle tissue tears and when you workout while they're still sore it rebuilds the muscle tissue making your muscles bigger. Also stop taking painkillers they won't do anything for soreness. You're gonna be fine. Don't worry and workout maybe 45 minutes to an hour today to build your muscles. Good luck.

Believe it or not .. Working out while sore will make ur tense muscles /tendons /ligaments .. Etc loosen up .. But staying home will just slow down the healing process .. This is from experience .. Goodluck and stay strong
