My husband was loading wood and picked up a branch, threw it onto a pile overhandedly. He felt a sharp pain between his wrist and elbow. Now he cannot lift the coffee pot without a sharp burning pain in bis forearm. What has he done and does he need to see a doctor or can we do some home remedy?
**1. As the pain occurred after workout, thus could be forearm muscle strain, but in best interest it is better to visit your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and to look out for any other soft tissue injury, [like tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome]2. initially forearm pain can be managed with Ice, Elevation, Rest, and pain relievers, however if condition does not improve with home treatment, medical treatment is advocated.
