My arm hurts when I move it backwards. Why?

If any problems are found during the use of the arm, it should be taken seriously. Therefore, some people feel pain when they twist their arms backwards. So why does it hurt so much when they twist their arms?

Causes

The forearm extensor tendons contract and tense when you grasp something (such as a tennis racket). Excessive use of these muscles can cause degeneration, degeneration, and tearing of the tendons at the origin of these muscles, which is commonly known as arm muscle soreness.

① Incorrect technique when hitting the tennis ball, inappropriate size of tennis racket or inappropriate tension of racket strings, incorrect golf club grip or swing technique, etc.

② Excessive arm activities, such as tennis, badminton driving, baseball pitching; other work such as painting, rowing, using a hammer or screwdriver, etc.

Playing tennis or golf; doing work that requires repeated extension of the wrist with a clenched fist; unbalanced muscle force; decreased flexibility; and aging.

Clinical manifestations

Most of the diseases develop slowly. In the early stage of arm muscle soreness, patients only feel soreness on the outside of the elbow joint. Patients feel pain when moving the upper part of the elbow joint. The pain can sometimes radiate upward or downward. The patient feels soreness and discomfort and is unwilling to move.

The hands should not be used to hold objects forcefully. Actions such as holding a shovel, lifting a pot, wringing a towel, and knitting a sweater may aggravate the pain. Generally, there is a localized tenderness point at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Sometimes the tenderness can radiate downward, and there may even be mild tenderness and pain on the extensor tendon.

There is no local redness or swelling, and elbow flexion and extension are not affected, but there may be pain when the forearm is rotated. In severe cases, pain may occur when extending fingers, wrists or holding chopsticks. A small number of patients feel that the pain is aggravated on rainy days.

After knowing these causes of arm pain, we should pay more attention to them in our daily life and try to avoid these situations. This will not only make the body less affected by soreness. It can also reduce the likelihood of developing more serious illnesses. It is very important for the health of your body, so you must keep it in mind.
