 Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | I'm getting pain in my left arm, but it's hard to figure out, because when it actually truly hurts its tends to be a deep ache from forearm all the way to my shoulder. Shoulder rotations and dislocation stretch don't hurt, but there is sometimes tenderness if I massage around the biceps tendon. I've had pain after straight bar chins, when I can feel my wrists want to rotate; after letting a heavyish press slide down my chest a bit; after forgetting to lock the elbow on a deadlift, so I guess jerking it into extension. Also, after squatting (wideish grip, elbows fairly downwards) it hurts anywhere from elbow to shoulder and my middle finger gets pins and needles. Curls don't hurt, even when it's already hurting, deads and the like do. Sounds to me like maybe it's a dodgy elbow and shoulder together. The shoulder clicks, and I've had rotator cuff, can't lift my arm up, issues before, although this is different. I guess I want to know, what would cause pain if it were what problem, so I can try and figure what it is. Thanks | ||

Sounds like a trapped nerve in your neck combined with tendonitis. I get this off and on. A Chiropractor should be able to free the nerve. Go to a decent one with a good rep. Re. tendonitis, rest/going lighter unfortunately. | ||

It seems to get irritated, hurt for maybe an hour after, then be prone to going off again for a few days, sounds like tendonitis? Would chins or curls help or make it worse? The shoulder I can deal with, I've had worse before, but I want to fix this elbow before it ends up chronic, for which I guess not jerking my elbow on deads is the main solution  Oh and ox, a stroke? Not this, but the few times I've had migrane aura, those make you wonder. | ||

I had something similar although the main focus of the pain was around the bicep tendon on the inside of the elbow. I didn't get any issues with deadlift, but squatting was an issue, especually with lower bar positioning, and overhead became an issue, especially the lowering under control part. A combination of taking cissus and getting friction treatment on the affected area (in the end both the elbow and shoulder ends of the long head of the bicep) really helped. I went from not being able to put 60kg overhead more than once, and being in agony after squats, to repping 120 oh amd making OH and squats my 2 best events at the Scottish 4 weeks later. | ||
