Weird feeling in arm after going to chiropractor?
Went to chiropractor for back adjustment and ended up telling him about tennis elbow I have been dealing with. He did a minor adjustment on my arm by placing the palm up and pulling the arm toward him. since that visit I have had pain in my bicep and near or in my shoulder. It didnt hurt initially but seems to be aggravated now by swimming and push up style exercises. What could he have done??? A physical therapist and him both have told me that nothing major could have happened and that this pain should just go away but it is not going away and Im worried. What do you guys think happened and what should I do?

It’s not age, because i’m 15. It’s not that i’m too thin, i’m 108 and 5’5.
My breasts, thighs, lower legs, and even around my hip bones. They’re not little spider veins. they’re big blue veins that around my hips you can see curving around and its really strange. i can see the veins in my wrists go from half way in my palm all the way to a my GIANT elbow vein. all the way up my lower arm. that’s so nasty.
but why all of a sudden? should i be worried?

also, on the back of my hand, the veins are so visible that if i press down on it, pull towards the knuckle, then release the pressure, you can SEE (actually see) the blood rush back through the vein.
and i’ve worked up a little tan from tennis. i’m not super super pale.

I was walking down the front steps(dreaming), I slipped and hit the floor with my back. (thankfully, I didn’t hit the steps)

My right arm took most of the impact. The wrist hurts a little bit, but thats not a big thing, it will go away. BUT the back of my right elbow looks like it has a large tennis ball attached to it. and it hurts bad.

I am not able to stretch my arm more than 150Degrees (people can, upto 180 degrees) or below 40 degrees. My right palm cant touch the right shoulder. Every time I move it closer to the shoulder, it gives me a terrible streak of pain from the tip of my fingers to the neck. Can’t write or type properly, how do you get rid of the pain and swelling?

I can pick up things but not more than 3 books.

(First aid: Deep Heat & Elmetacin Spray Solutions)
middle of the night. and can’t drive right now.
CANT DRIVE with this on my hand. midnight. hospital too far away. maybe in the morning. but not now. Anything for the pain?
ouch. wrist to.
trying ice now. pain is still there.
I see the danger with YA now, dont know if medical solutions here are the right thing to do. bloody steps. ah. ouch ouch ouch.

am going to a doctor but do you think I might have tennis elbow?

I heard it happens on your forearm-elbow. It happens from turning your wrist outward. I think I may have it on my right arm from using the mouse. (I am on the computer a lot for school, email and of course facebook!(DOnt worry I am healthy, strong, active, smart))

I dont really feel pain, just like kind of tightness or numbness or tingly and it feels a little awkward or discomforting. The feeling comes when I write or am on the computer. Id say I have the feeling 1/2 the time to 2/3 of the time?

DO you think It could be tennis elbow? Or something else? I have tried resting it (no computer) and icing it, but I still feel it. I feel it upper forearm underneath(like if toy traced you palm of your hand to your armpitt. Maybe strained muscle?
Oh a few more things. my right forearm is weaker then the left. and my elbow hurts when I straighten my whole arm. I also often here like a click

I began experiencing pain in my right arm about a month ago. I tried just using my left for a while but then got the same pain in that also. I went to the doc and she determined i have tennis elbow and prescribed motrin, a pair of tennis elbow braces, and regular ice/heat and rest. It’s been a few weeks now and it’s not a lot better. The odd thing is, i have pain on the outside of my arm AND the inside (all in forearm). Also, im now having swelling in my right arm and hand. Can anyone shed some light on this and if im doing the right thing? Thanks!!
Thanks for clearing that up! My next question is: where should i wear the brace? I have pain in the tendon and the lower extensor muscles so i am not sure where to put the pressure point. And the outer side of my forearm is swollen in one spot (kind of halfway between elbow and wrist – if you look down at your arm with palm turned down). So i’m confused where the pressure point should be… Any advice?

I had dislocated my left elbow. After one week of removal of cast, I started having hardness on the nails of little and ring fingers of my left hand. Same was observed on the portion of palm below these two fingers. On these two fingers, there was a feeling of fluffiness. I have shown to various doctors. Every one has advised for vitamin medicines but none is sure, if it’s fully recoverable . Has any one faced such kind of problem ? If yes, then what treatment was taken for full cure ? Kindly help me. THANKS.

This short article gives you useful information on effective tennis elbow relief. If you just know what action to take and which ones to stay away from, your chances of relieving your tennis elbow pain quickly, increases a lot.

There is no question that tennis elbow can have a tremendous effect on your daily activities. For most people suffering with this injury, grasping a coffee cup in the morning can be extremely painful and difficult. If you really want to beat this debilitating injury, there are 3 simple tennis elbow exercises you can perform to help increase the range of motion, decrease stiffness, improve mobility and strength of your injured muscles and tendons.

Tennis Elbow Exercises 1 – Wrist Extension

For this exercise, you will again need the can of soup or a 1 liter of soda. Place a soup can or 1 liter of soda in your hand with palm facing downwards toward the floor. Support your forearm at the edge of a table or on your knee so that only your hand can move. Let the wrist down slowly go past parallel to almost 90 degrees with your forearm and then slowly come back up to parallel with the floor.

Tennis Elbow Exercises 2 – Forearm Pronation/Supination

For this exercise, I recommend you use a hammer, wrench, something that you can get a nice grip on. Once you have something in your hand with forearm supported by the arm of a chair, your knee or coffee table. Rotate hand to palm down position, return to start position (hammer perpendicular to floor), rotate to palm up position, repeat.

To increase or decrease the resistance, try moving your hand farther away or closer towards the head of the hammer. In other words, if you are grasping the hammer at the very end of the handle and the head of the hammer is the furthest away from your hand, then this will be the most challenging and greatest resistance for you

Tennis Elbow Exercises 3 – Finger Extension

Interweave a thick rubber band around all five fingers. Keeping your elbow as straight as possible [but if you feel pain when you completely straighten your arm only straighten as far as you can without pain], try to straighten and spread your fingers outwards as if you were going to catch a softball. Hold for three seconds, then let your fingers relax naturally; do not close your hand completely. For added resistance, use a second rubber band. Repeat for 25 repetitions for 3 sets.

I had my first tennis practice 2 days ago (joining school’s team). Now my inner arm hurts. It’s like, when I touch my elbow bone and like the tendons on it, it hurts. I’ve only had one practice, and I’ve already gotten hurt. What a surprise.
Anyway, do I have tennis elbow? How many days will it take to heal? My next practice is this monday, but it’s optional so I don’t have to go. What should I do to get rid of the pain and the injury in general? Please help.
and the muscles in my forearm hurt. it’s the inner part, when you face your palm up. BTW, I play with my right arm and that’s the one that’s hurting. My left is fine, just a tiny bit sore.
