pain in the left arm when lifting above the head

[cyto33]

hey guys
i have pain in the top of my lower left arm when i do military DB presses or BB press. if you make a fist and hold your arm with your other hand and raise and lower your fist the muscle or tendon that moves is where the pain is. i have had it for about a month now. i went and hit the weights last night and felt weak in that spot. what thought do you all have.

probably tendonitis. I have that in my shoulder. Sucks big balls man. I try easing the pain with a heating pad. Had it in my wrist and it went away but took like 2 months. Then before that had a pain in my forearm that pounded like a mofo but that went away in 10 days. I guess its the name of the game. I'm going to make it a ritual to stretch before I workout now. I talked to a few people at the gym and they were complaining of pains too.

thanks Rage
i was working the arms last night and i focused on the left. I thimk your spot on. the tendons felt stretched. i was looking at the armstructure on line so i could pin point it and figure out if it a muscle or not. think i'm good .i'll take it easy for a while.

Rest it bro. If it means taking a couple weeks off from arms and shoulders do it. If it turns into a serious injury you'll be off for much longer than that. Don't let it amount to anything. Get a good massage & don't lean on it when u sleep. That usually makes it worse

i have been lazy with the legs so i will hit those and the abs for a while. getting a massage sounds like a great plan.
