Pain in forearm while lifting anything

2022-02-02 15:56:18
I use to be a gym person untill my inner forearm near elbow started to hurt during weight lifting .it got worst as I did lifting. I consulted an orthopaedic he prescribed some painkillers and did some blood test all were good. He asked me to take medicine for 15 days and stop after that. And asked me to resume gym after a month . I stopped going to gym after that but my inner forearm below elbow still hurts when I make a fist, hold anything in my hand , fold my arm , apply pressure on anything using my hand, and lift anything it hurts. Also it's going to be 1 year since this happened. What should I do? And I want to resume gym . How should I resume it.

Get your vitamin d and b12 checked. You could be low hence your injury in the elbow is not healing completely causing pain. Get injectable vitamin supplement and you will start recovering and will soon be able to continue gym

There might be an underlying tear which might need something more than rest and medicines
Next Steps
Should consult with a MRI as primary treatment is not working for you

Your symptoms are very much similar to golfers elbow. It needs rest followed by rehabilitation. Medication to reduce pain and inflammation. Golfers elbow strap would be useful too.
