Repetitive strain injury?
Hello a few days ago i developed this awful pain in my right arm. It's almost like i pulled a forearm muscle. I cant extend it because its like a burst of pain to my arm. It's very painful. I was looking online and all of my symptoms lead to repetitive strain injury (RSI) I feel like its getting worse each day. It's affecting my sleep, its constant aching and pain. I've taken ibuprofen and that doesnt help. Today i attempted to write something with that hand and i like couldnt grip the pencil right. It's like i lost muscle in my fingers. Has anybody ever had this before, do u know when it will go away? I dont even remember doing anything to cause this, its like i woke up one morning and it was really sore. I was also looking online and they said theres no treatment for it. So i going to the doctors is probably out of the question, plus i dont have insurance so please dont suggest that. Is there anything i can do to make the pain go away? Thanks in advance!

You should ice it.. Heat will make it worse. ice it a lot, elevate it. ( above your heart) keep taking ibuprofen. Also try some icy got, it has aspirin in the gel. Try nit to use it so much for a while. You should also compress it... Ace bandage wrap, cloth or whatever to squeeze it a little.
