I thought I tore a muscle in my upper arm while walking one afternoon in Florida. Sounds silly, but I was power walking and punching the air to put more oomph into my walk.
It hurts when I dress and undress or sleep on it.
Today, I had my physical. While there, my doctor examined it and told me to try an anti inflammatory such as Tylenol. If I don't see improvement in a week or so, I must see an orthopedic surgeon.
Otherwise, my visit went well. I'm as healthy as an ox and that pleased me and my doctor.

Wow you may have to see a surgeon he said? Maybe.
I hope not Dianne.

@DianneN Yes hope it will heal of its own accord. Bayer Back and Body works good for aches.

You need to have it thoroughly checked as it seems a long time that you had this small accident if I might call it that.

Don't laugh, but I pulled a chest muscle a couple of weeks ago when I was stretching when I got out of bed for work one morning. It hurt bad enough that I had to go to the doctor. He said the same thing to me...take some Tylenol

@DianneN i believe if you are tired from those somewhat strenuous activities, you should take a warm bath so your blood vessels will dilate. then, you can finish your bath/shower with cold water so the blood vessels will constrict.

@DianneN not sure. Tylenol takes least 30mins to work on me. Lol

I have never found Tylenol to help with these sorts of things, Ibuprofen is much more effective but of course, I am not a doctor. I hope it helps. Glad you got a good report.

Hi Dianne. Hope you will be fine and the pain will go away. What is your opinion on veganism?

@DianneN Well, I wanted to see if you have an opinion on veganism but that answer is pretty suggestive itself I suppose.

@DianneN Yes, the therapy helped and after 10 sessions I was able to use my arm and shoulder without feeling pain. I had the problem three years ago and for the following 3 years I had no problem. I do not know what happened, but now it hurts again. I will go to see my physio.

Remind me not to add too much oomph. I hope taking an OTC relieves the pain.
