Is it the area behind your elbows?  If you are waking up in the middle of the night or the morning and it's hurting very bad, it's because you are sleeping with your arm under your pillow or your arm bent.  \n\nThere is a nerve back there and the pressure from the bending will cause you pain.  It's called nerve entrapment.\n\nThat's what happens to me.\n\nIt brings tears to my eyes.\n\nMy Dr. who treats my carpal tunnel, says to sleep with towels wrapped around my arms to keep them straight.\n\nI've never done it, but it's an option.\n\nTake motrin for the pain. \n\nI hope you feel better.

You may want to get checked out - as the pain from tennis elbo does not normally shoot to other locations in the arm.  It is typically localized to the elbow and surrounding forearm muscles and tendons.  \n\nIf you have tennis elbow - Early on start with ice to the affected area (off and on when you can for 48 to 72 hours after the onset of problems. Acute swelling can be worsened by heat. \nRest (no tennis) for a while.\nAfter the acute period, heat may be beneficial. \nThroughout, antiinflammatory meds like advil - if you can take these - are helpful as well.\nWhen back to tennis - test the waters. If aggravated, re-ice and take more time. Good Luck

It could be bursitis, an inflammation of the bursae( a fluid filled protective sac that reduces friction in the joints). You may end up having to see your Dr. but, try Motrin and rest, ice (20 min) and 20 min later heat (no more then 20 min) several times a day. But if the pain persists see your doctor.

It could be that your bicep is very tired from whatever you or doing. Also there could be some slight nerve damage. As far as stopping the spasms, just try not to use that whole arm area a lot.

It could VERY WELL be that you are not drinking enough fluids ( especially water ).  This is ONLY taking into account that you are not exerting yourself too much ( working out, sitting or sleeping in a weird position, etc ... ).  Your muscles and joints need proper lubrication and water is the best solution.  Check out a book called something like, Your Body's Many Cries for Water. Good Luck, I know the feeling of neck and shoulder pain.  Always check with your HealthCare Practitioner before starting any kind of regimen.

hurts like a , don't it?  Take the arm on that side and sling it with your hand up next to your neck, on top of the other collarbone--this seems to relieve some of the discomfort--drugs and alcohol will take care of the rest!!

I have heard that APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (pill form can be purchased now) taken first thing in the morning helps alleviate the pain, as well as daily exercise, as contradictory as that might sound, moving the joints eliminates the stiffness, especially if you do them in a tub of hot water.  Meaning placing affected hands, wrists, elbows, etc. into a tub of hot water and moving your hands around.\n\nGood Luck and prosper ...;*!*;...

Sounds like you could have strain in your rhomboid muscles, which attached the medial wall of the scapula to the spine. There are a couple ways to help this. \n1. Exercise with light weights- dumbell rows\n2. Stretching\n3. Isometric exercises such as corner pushes- go to the corner of a room and put one hand on each wall, bend your elbows so your upper body moves towards the corner. Squeeze your shoulder blades together until you feel the back muscles engage and hold it for one minute. Do this 3 times in a row, 30 second break.\n\nI'll send you a link for some other exercises.

Ice, regular anti-inflammatory tablets (ibuprofen), and rest.......try and work out what movement has strained them and try to avoid it. If it doesn't get better within a month, see your doctor for referral to physiotherapy.

If the pain is severe, go and see your family dr. Otherwise I'd suggest stretching but you need to get an x-ray if the pain is severe. Don't wait go and make it a priority it coudl lead to further issues.

first of all, buy better shoes. Second, take an anti-inflammatory ALL THE TIME. Just taking it when it hurts does not help the problem. Third, quit running and start walking for exercise. Shortening your stride will also help. You can strengthen those muscles by doing 30 toe-raises a day. Without the support of a wall, go from flat footed to up on your toes 30 times each day. Do so fairly slowly and let yourself back down JUST as slowly.

I've seen a hundred "muscle heads" in the gym that work out in a way that perpetuates shoulder injuries.  I typically reccomend doing military presses (if you do them ) to be done with your elbows slighty in front of you not out to the side as i always see.  I also recommend keeping your elbows near your body whenever possible...i.e. bench press, ect.  I also rec. doing external rotation exercises for the shoulder as a lot of exercises work the Internal rotators, which set you up for imbalance.  This can be done with dumbells with you ina side lyig postion, with your arm bent at 90 degrees and with your top elbow againt your rib cage lift/rotate the arm toward the cieling.  Ask a trainer how to do it.\n"No pain" ranges of motion with lighter weights until you can get to a normal ROM with heavier wieghts.

something doesan't hurt unless its got nerves, viewns dont have nerves so its porbably something 2  do with ur wrists. I would get that chekced out first, not ur viens.

I would definitely see your doctor. Most likely it's tendonitis. The thing to do would be to RICE it. Rest Ice Compression (with an Ace Bandage or something similar) and Elevation. You might also want to take some Ibuprofen or something similar to that. Get to your doctor before it gets worse though.

If you have hit it, then you may have rupptured the fregments in your arms (meaning: the muscle, causing it to bloat/swell) making it look like what you said "a second elbow" this is a common injury!\n\nif your arm is like this normally and always has been then you may be double jointed...but the double jointed that you cant twist around all freakishly lol! \n\nyou may want to go get it ex-rayed from your local docter/hospital/walk-in-clinic!  good luck!\n\np.s if your arm hurts then you should deffinitly go get it checked out! the doctors is a hassel but in the end we all know its worth it...better safe then sorry!
