HI
I desperately need some help! I Broke my arm almots 2 years ago arm wrestling. The break was a spiral fracture and the DR decided that I needed to have a operation to have a metal plate fitted to my arm. The surgery seemed to go well and I seemed to recover relatively quickly. 6 Months after the operation I had full movement and no pain, in day to day use my arm seemed to be fine. Prior to breaking my arm I was a gym worshiper doing heavy weights 4 -5 times a week and a keen boxer. 6 Months after the operation the Dr said that my arm should be fully healed and I could start training lightly again. So I did. Here is where the problem became apparent. If I do any kind of repeat lifting or any kind of physical activity with my arm I get a anoying pain the day after. The pain occours when I move the arm back and forth but especially when I put any kind of preassure on my arm pushing away from my body or pulling towards it. Its not a really bad pain just enough to let me know its there and to stop what Im doing. If I do no further physical activity with my arm the pain completely goes between a week and two weeks later, and does not return unless I do any further physical activity. If I do do any phsical activity the pain get worse to the point where I can do nothing with my arm without it hurting. At first I thought that I may be taking it a bit to fast and maybe my arm neeed more time to recover but over the last 18 months I have tried all sorts of different traing techniques and every time eventually my arm gets irritated and I have to stop for a period before it recovers and I can start again. I found the harder & more frequently I trained the quicker my arm got sore, however even if I took it really easy eventually It would end up sore as well. I am at the point now where I dont think it is going to get any better. I have visited my doc who was not helpful at all. I pointed out to him the problem and also that since the operation there is a clicking in my arm when I rotate it. He said that it could be down to tissues inside my arm rubbing and getting sore, maybe internal scar tissue created by the operation be he could not be sure and there was not alot they could do about it, The best way to avoid any paid is to not train!!!!! This has left me very annoyed. I am desperate to start training again. This may sound sad but I have become very depressed. Training was a very big part of my life. Prior to breaking my arm I was working as a bouncer and was hoping to join the police but do not feel fit enough any more. Surley there must be some kind of operation they could do to see if they could put things right in my arm again. To be honest Im not even sure the DR has come to the right conclusion to as what is wrong with my arm and I feel very fobbed off. If he could say X was wrong with my arm and we cant fix it because of Y I would listern to what he's saying, but he's saying he's not sure sure what it is and he cant fix it. How does he know he cant fix it if he doesnt know what the problem is?!
I was wondering if anyone else had had any similar expreiences to me or there was anyone who could offer me any kind of medical advice. Any kind of feedback no matter how big or small will be greatfully appreciated.
