pinched nerve or what?

[zachary]

i was doing curls with dumbells, 25 lbs..one the first set second rep i heard and felt a pop come from my left elbow then my whole arm just went numb-not numb but like when you hit your funny bone feelings all tingly and weird, that was 3 hours ago and it still is not back to normal, now no more tingly feeling but more like its halfway numb feeling? would this be a pinched nerve or what? i can move the arm fine with no pain, just fingers dont quite have all the feeling it seems..will this go away or should i have it checked out?

Personally, I'd wait but..... you're talking to someone that waited several months before going to the doctor when her elbow was broken. I just endure pain. Right now, I did something to my shoulder while lifting weights (shooting pain down my shoulder and back). Not sure what but I'm sure it will go away eventually.

If you think you broke it, I'd go. *shrugs* I guess I don't like doctors.

i dont think i broke anything becaue i have full motion and cant move all my fingers and the arm fine, thats why i dont wanan go to the hospital-not a big fan either- just hoping itll go away, still feels numb today though :(

:D

Just because you can move it doesn't mean it's not broken. I could move my elbow just fine.....with extreme pain. 3ish months later, I go see the doctor when someone touched my finger and I thought I was going to knock the shit outta them. Instead I cried.... My TaeKwon Do instructor sent me to the doctor. Yes, I had been working out all this time with a broken elbow. But....if you feel good about it, see if it gets better instead of worse.
