Anyone else deal with arm pain while surfing?

Mike, I get the same thing. It used to get to the point it would almost bring tears to my eyes. I used to only get it when I was surfing. About a month ago, I had done a lot of shoveling and it came back. I did go to a doctor when I was young and he had no clue. Now if it comes on, I pop a couple ibuprophen and move on.

 

sounds like tendonitis

 

I am sure thats prob what it is. But, it's not like I am sore the next day or anything. Hurts at the moment, ibuprophen, and its gone. Weird thing is, I don't always get it.

 

tendonitis of the elbow

 

One of the things that definitely exacerbates that situation is Hydration. If you already have a muscle/tendon area prone to pain from use it Quickly will let you know when you're not Fully hydrated...hence the time to time and having it hurt at the moment.

 

Radicular neuropathy.

There is a nerve that travels down from your neck and wraps your shoulder and arm all the way down. I deal with it on my left side on a pretty consistent basis. I've found massage works the best. Get a broom stick or dowel and start at the muscle at the top of your neck/base of your skull and work your way down your lats. You'll find the pressure points but they're gonna be somewhere in the middle of your neck muscles and the top inside corner of your shoulder blade.

I was at the doctor once for allergies and he asked me if anything else was bothering me. I told him sometimes it feels like I'm having a heart attack because I get shooting pains from my shoulder down my left arm. He showed me those spots and recommended I get some massage. 5 minutes of working on my neck/shoulder and there were huge results. My arm felt warm where it usually felt pain and I had better range of motion again.

 

Stop jerking off so much man.

 

This works like gold for me- noticed a difference in a few weeks. I stopped taking it and slowly a month later the pain came back.

All yous should probably take this to prevent rotator cuff injury.

This is just an example- I buy the big generic bottle at Costco...

 

Glucosamine wit dem fishoils for full lubrication!

 

Nice response man!

I get a similar pain in my writst after climbing at the gym. Especially if I have been doing a lot of boulder work. I think mine is tendon related. Does it go away if you take a break from climbing and surfing?

 

I don't think coffee counts. LOL Unless you are having headaches, then the caffeine might help. I haven't been able to associate mine with dehydration, but then again, because I get it so ramdonly, i don't pay attention. Good luck man!

 

Yea it really did the trick- I completely forgot about my shoulders.... That's why I stopped taking it... Then in a little while the pain came back.

I think glucosamine is to build cartlegde and chondroiton is a lub. The msm is pretty important- it helps absorb into your body. I only take glucosamine with msm. Try it for a while... But you may need more time for it to take effect. I noticed a difference in a month or so. But out took over half a year to get rid of the pain...

 

Shred gets a ton of arm pain when he surfs. That's because the dude is ripped and so sore from putting up 4 bones on the bench.

 

This was pretty painful

 

Looks like Ebola, better find a good way to off yerself

 

This^ I'm not sure if what you are describing you would consider similar to tennis elbow, although it sounds like it. I get a solid pain in my left elbow that is the same as the tennis elbow I used to get years ago when I surf a bunch of days in a row. I find the hydration part helps tremendously. Also, whoever said advil was good advice too.
