I use my arm alot and when I sleep my elbow stiffs up and the bone at the joint hurts when it is touched or bumped
Is it recommended that i take off my tennis elbow brace while sleeping or should i wear it all the time?
Because it bothers me when i sleep.
I understand that you can over-exercise, but I love tennis and like playing every single day for a couple hours. I’m going to do a clinic for four hours five days a week, but I doubt it’ll be super intense, with half hour to one and a half hour lessons pretty much every day, and then other classes I can go to. If I eat well, sleep well, and take naps and breaks throughout the day, is that okay? I’m also 15, and healthy, if that makes how much activity I can stand any different.
i sometimes wake up with a my hands so numb that it hurts, and recently when i spend long time on the computer my elbows also hurt why does this happen and what should i do?
ok so my rights arms elbow front and back hurts to bend move…im thinking its a position of sleep issue or placement..i keep bending my elbow pulling my arm and almost breaking my elbow to relieve the pain. i dont think its workin. I dont rly believe its a condition just a awkward placement or soreness from arm wrestling..anyway how would i relieve it or make it heal…
sorry if this was messy i am very sleepy…
1) I can’t just sit still, I’ve been trying to sleep for half an hour but I keep finding a reason to get up and walk around.
2) I’m dizzy.
3) The soft sides of my arms between my elbow joint (?) and palms are really tender, irritatingly and uncomfortably tender. It makes me all squirmy whenever they rub against something.
4) Feet are cold and sore/tender.
5) Back is sore.
6) Every breath I take is a deep breath.
7) Chest pains.
Sore throat.
9) Hands are cold and clammy.
Do you think it’s the flu or…?

We are going through a big audit at work and ever since then I wake up with the joints in my fingers, knees, ankles, toes, elbows, and neck being very stiff and painful, like arthritis. I am 38-years-old and have had osteoarthritis in my fingers since my early 20s (genetic). Could this be arthritis brought up by on-the-job stress? (The only over-the-counter painkiller that works is ibuprofen, and ibuprofen makes me go to sleep, even if I take only 200 mg)
For the past 2 weeks or so I have been waking up with a really sore arm on my right side from the shoulder to elbow. I have always slept on my right side and never had a problem like this before. I have tried to sleep in different positions but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I have been up for about an hour and it is still sore. I’m really fed up with it and need to figure out what to do. Any ideas?
My dog is a Labrador Retriever and that breed is prone to elbow callouses. I’ve moisturized. I’ve encouraged him to sleep on soft places. Lately he’s been scratching them and they’ve been bleeding. Have you gotten rid of your dog’s?
Yup. Use Bag Balm and he’s slim and trim. Thank you. Any more suggestions?
Okay, so my mom has problems with her arm. She feels excruciating pain in her elbow, joint stiffness, sore parts around the ear and in the rib cage, and whenever its too cold or the weather’s not good, she feels worse. Plus, when she’s stressed out, she can’t even move. She can’t sleep, and pills don’t work. What exactly is the problem. none of the CAT scans and x-rays pics show what is wrong with her. Is it a psychological problem or is it just physical? Also, what can we do to fix it?
I woke up a few days ago and my elbow was killing me. I waited a day thinking I must have done something when I was sleeping to hurt it. But its been like 3 days and I cant use my left arm without feeling a really strong pain in the elbow. I am thinking I have not done any sports in a few weeks and I did not hit my elbow into anything and its not the way I sleep so why is my elbow hurting me? Thanks in advance.
well then if I have not done any sports have not hit it in any way and did not injure it during the night then what would cause the pain?
One morning about 3 weeks ago I woke up and my elbow hurt. I have fibromyalgia and thought nothing of it. I wake up everyday with a new pain.
The pain persisted for about a week and a half and got progressively worse. I went to my doctor and he said it’s tennis elbow.
I don’t play tennis, I don’t use a screwdriver all the time. so how did I get this? Two things come to mind…I type a lot. Could this cause/contribute to it? And the way I sleep. I sleep on my side with my arm under my head – arm kinda twisted. This could possibly pull the tendons – right?
I ask, cause if it’s this, then I need to find a new way to sleep.
Also – what else do you recommend for getting over it? It’s gotten ridiculous. I threw my shoe and was in horrible pain. I can’t bend it, straighten it, lean on it, or use it to lift anything.
HELP!!!
To The Mom: That’s just it. I don’t do ANYTHING repetitive other than type. I don’t work out, don’t work, If you saw the house, you’d know it isn’t from cleaning too much (LOL). All I can think of is the way I sleep. The arm is twisted which could pull the muscles. (and i get why it’d be called washerwoman – the old washboard – repetitive motion)
I’ve been racking my brain for 3 weeks now and I don’t do anything that would cause this other than possibly typing or sleeping.
Anyway…i’ll try the ice and anti-inflamatories. How long should I wait before going back if no improvement?
I went and saw an orthopedic doctor today about my injured elbow from volleyball. The doctor said it was javelin elbow(similar to tennis elbow, just pain is underneath instead of on top) and so he gave me a brace. He said to wear it every day, all day, except when i sleep. Today was my first day wearing it, and not only my elbow, but my whole arm and hand hurt really bad when i just touched it, and when i wrote and that kind of stuff. It was also turning weird colors like purplish and red, and it got swollen. Is this normal? I took it off because it seemed a little strange, so do i keep it off? is this supposed to happen?
I am pretty sure it wasnt on to tight. The doctor said it should be tight so it puts pressure on my tendons, and if it was to tight my vains wold be popping out, which didnt happen… I am also thinking it might be a problem with my nerve. thats what the first doctor i saw said. If it was a nerve, that may have been what caused the pain and swelling? But i dont know. I would think that after a while the nerve would heal on its own, because it’s been about a year since the injury. I have barely used my elbow since then. I quit volleyball, and the only time i use it is in school when we play for P.E., and soccer when i am goalie. and just doing little things like wiping the table down it hurts sometimes. But anyway, im starting to think its NOT "javelin elbow". what do you think?
I hurt my arm by digging post holes and planting trees this past fall. Doctor told me to take 2 Aleve twice a day. Problem is I can’t sleep after taking Aleve , wake up about 1:00 AM and can’t go back to sleep. Is this common with any one else? What can I take?
My elbow is sore all the time and stiffens up constantly, making it tough to sleep at night and also lift anything in a curling motion. I lift heavy weights 4 day week and was thinking this is what’s causing it. Any ideas??
I plugged in my fan without turning it off, stupid I know, but lack of sleep during dead week will make you do stupid things. Anyways, I was shocked in my right arm and now the muscles in my forearm and bicep are really sore/tight, also my joints (elbow and shoulder) feel like thick pins are stuck in them. Is this something I should see a doctor for or just let it go? I’m just surprised it hurts after about 40 minutes.
Any thoughts?
I have a sore neck, shoulder, and elbow, all on the left side.
I work out often, but now I can hardly do a pushup or pullup. My elbow pops, and my shoulder hurts not the muscle but deeper, and my neck is always hurting on the left. Is it the way I sleep efecting this, or an old possible neck injury. My chest also pops and has that cracked chest feel, yeah I’m all messed up. I was thinking about getting a total gym and maybe quitting the free weights for a while, or should I just see a chiropractor and give him all my money?

Thanks, could a hurt neck cause other problems on my left side? And does anyone know about cracking chest syndrome?
thanks alot Tex
Ever since I came back from my trip to Oklahoma a few weeks ago I have been finding unexplained bruises on my body in the most random places. I had a couple just below the knuckle of my thumb, on my lower palm area, the side of my knee, on my leg and other random places. Some of them are explained, some of them are weird.
Some just look brownish and the aren’t tender an I think it’s really weird and I read in a book somewhere that bruising could be sign of some disease i think it was leukemia but i’m not sure. I didn’t think much of it because I did rigorous activity in OK. I have been working a lot lately and I have to do a lot.
I’ve also had some pretty sore joints around my ankles and wrists sometimes my elbows. My ankles would feel weird like they need to be popped or stretched or something but it doesnt work it just feels sore and like its being lightly pulled out of joint. My wrist have been doing it lately too.
A couple weeks ago when they were sore i was at the theater and when i was using the rail to pull me up as i took two steps at i time and that didnt help it at all it felt like someone was tugging on it really hard. like pulling it out of joint. i’m only 18 i dont know whats going on and im concerned about my sore joints. it might be nothing, might be that im not as active as i used to be but its been coming and going for awile now.
I’ve also been really tired lately even when i get 9 or 10 hours. Normally I cant sleep past 10 but today i slept till 1. it could be that i’ve been working a lot or my sleeping schedule is off and i’m not going to bed till 3 or 4 now. even at that i wake up at 10.
I am desperate to figure out what is going on with me. I am a 37 year old female and about a week ago I started gettig a sore and stiff feeling in my hips, it has progressed rapidly to my ankles (now slightly swollen) also my knees and shoulders and elbow joints. What could cause such pain in all my joints. I can not imagine it is arthritis at my age and so sudden. Could it be a pinched nerve or a virus? it seems to be the worse when i am laying in bed at night and unbearable when rising in the morning. I cannot sleep because of the pain. It does seem to get slightly better when I am up walking around. Any ideas?
i have had it for around 6 months and have been physio numerous times a week and have stops because of costs. i have stoppde tennis for 6 months and went back recently and it has come back again does accupuntureon the forearm where the pain is work?
i use an arm band all the time and only take it off when i sleep

The room was quiet and John lay on his side watching television. As he got up and began tidying the bed to go to sleep he felt an excruciating pain in his elbow. Taken by surprise, he sat down on the bed and touched the area and found that it was swollen. He sat in the same place for several minutes trying to recall where he could have hurt his elbow. Not able to recall a thing, he went into the kitchen and rubbed some ice over the spot, hoping that the pain and swelling would subside!
