What causes sharp pain uptil fingertips in arm after lifting weights?
Patient: pain in left armI'm a 23 year old healthy man, I worked out 3 days ago including lifting weights. A day after I noticed my left arm hurting and unable to put my arm straight out. when I try to straighten my arm a sharp pain goes all the way to my finger tips?? any idea what I did and if it will go away soon? Doctor: this type of pain usually occours due cervical spodylosis. You have probqbly caused imbalance of the neck muscles while working out. You will have to take medicine, apply analgesic ointment to the neck and give hot fomentation to the neck. It may take any thing between 3 days to 3 weeks
