Hi, i am 17 and about to go into the United states marine corps, but the other day we did an pull up work out and i did 42 pull ups. i have been in pain for two days now and it only hurts when i try to fully extend my arm. i have tried to heat and stretch it and still no results. i need to heal quick. what should i do?
Hi, As mentioned that you over performed the exercise this has landed you in DOES (delayed onset muscle soreness) In this situation there is an inflammation in the muscle fibers.  As two days have passed now another 2 more days you need to wait taking hot water fermentation and relaxation. Don't do any kind of stretching or other exercise for now. It will heal by another two days of time. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, patients with DOES responds well to rest and hot water fermentation. In about a maximum of week of time they do well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
