Question: hi my left hand is not as strong as right hand it's very slim . pics attached. doesn't look manly at all. so friend suggested to do body building , but as it's weak so I can't lift more than 10-14 kg . and then it's starts paining on elbow. any medicine to make it strong ? any oil / cream that I should use
Brief Answer:
You need to get examined first!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will like to know for how long you have had this weakness. Also, a detailed exam must be done to establish the cause of the weakness and muscle atrophy before making any recommendations. Also, what is your dominant hand? Are you right handed or left handed?
All these are required to be able to help you. While I have reviewed the attached image unless it is compared to the other hand you say it's bigger, no one can be able to deduce anything from this.
In all, we need a detailed exam before we can propose a personalized health plan for you. I will strongly recommend you provide the above details as well as consider talking to your primary care doctor for further evaluation and testing.
I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well and look forward to more detailed exchanges with you.

Brief Answer:
Physical therapy is your best way to go!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You would need to go with physical therapy. This is the best way to help recover lost muscle mass and functionality. However, the long interval since this happened doesn't really work in our favor.
Give it a try and let me know how this goes/no oil or cream would make a difference with this.
Hope I have answered your query.
