My husband woke up Saturday morning with his left hand swollen and painful but by evening the swelling and pain was gone but now he has severe weakness in his same arm. He usually does 75 push ups every morning for years and lifts 20 lb weights before starting his day. Now he has tried every morning an he can t even do 4 push ups and cannot lift more than 5 lbs. He has no pain in his arm just muscle weakness. He is 65 yrs old. He is not concerned like I am.
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of cervical nerve root there can be tingling numbness in your hand and pain.  I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis. You can take neurotrophic like pregabalin consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise you vitamin B12 supplement. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
