I might have to take a few days off, maybe a week.

I hurt my right arm more than a month ago. I am right handed. It's not getting better despite doing extra stretches and exercises. So I think I need to take some time off and rest it, in hope that it gets better.

Every time I sit at the computer, it gets worse. I've just been working through it so far.

I don't think that I can do that any longer.

Take care Phoenyxx! I hope you get better

Sounds like taking a break will be for the best. So, take your time get better and we’ll see you when you return.

Feel better soon!

Oh no, I hope it's not that serious and you get better soon.

No, it's stupid really. I walk everywhere, so I use a backpack when I go for groceries and stuff. I was putting it on one day, and my arm went, "Pop" when I was trying to lever my right arm into the strap. Upper arm, outside part. Just tweaked a muscle or something, but holding a mouse aggravates it. :P

Mr. Phoenyxx

I will give it a day or two. If I don't see improvement, then I will have to try something else.

Oh, I see. That must be rested for sure, or maybe you should show it to a doctor to be sure. Once my mom had a dumb accident when she just put down her hand to support her weight to stand up and that was it. She had an ligament rupture. Not sure if this is correct in english, but it was bad :/

I had a similar problem several years ago. I was opening our side-by-side refrigerator freezer. However, I grasped the top edge of the freezer to open it. I'd done this hundreds of times. This time, my arm was locked straight. Just as I was about to open the freezer, I sneezed. Not a polite sneeze, but one of those sneezes that could give you whiplash! My shoulder *popped* and fell limp to my side. I didn't dislocate it, but I did strain it. After three weeks with little improvement, I went to an orthopedic doctor. He diagnosed me with bursitis. My little sneeze and *pop* irritated the bursa sack in my left shoulder. The bursa sack provides lubricant for the joint. It had swelled up and stopped lubricating my shoulder. Left alone, the shoulder can freeze and become immobile. The Doc gave me a cortisone injection, and within a couple of days, the pain was gone. It may be a good idea to get it looked at!

Mr. Phoenyxx

Yep! That is all it takes sometimes, especially as you get older. And yes, that is the correct english. :)

Mr. Phoenyxx

Yes, I should get it looked at. Sadly that is not a realistic option in my current situation.

Thanks! And take care of yourself :)

As a guy who has periodic issues with chronic Carpal Tunnel and Shoulder Issues, take all the time you need! Do your exercises and stretches, wear a brace if you need it, and relax!

Mr. Phoenyxx

Yeah, those kinds of issues are never a quick recovery.
