Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Triceps With Fatigue

I lifted weights for the first time in several month at 3:00 pm on Monday. After I was tired and mildly sore. Tuesday I felt fine. Wednesday at 2:00 I woke up to strong pains in my left triceps. The pain has not gone away. In fact it can now be felt down to my fingers and up my shoulder into my neck. 800ml of motrin dulls the pain but does not erase it. How much longer before I should seek professional help

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As this pin is usual post exercises and are addressed as DOMS - Delayed onset muscle soreness which take 3-4 days for it too subside. Since the soreness is in the muscle fibres apparanlty very less could be helpful to reduce this ache.

If, you are feeling pain in the nerve, causing radiating from the neck to the little finger than a thoroguh neuromuscular assessment is needed. May be nerve pinch in the cervical region.

But if this pain persists more than 3-4 days than an assessment is advised or else if it is DOMS than pain will go off on its own.
