Buddy, the problem is we sometimes put our entire body weight on that arm since we are sleeping side ways, so our arms numbs, that usualy goes away in time.\nIts normal feeling don't worry. If you have doughts you could always ask a doctor, but they will charge for it.

Obviously go to a doctor to see if you have something wrong.  You just never know.  So have it checked out by a standard doctor first.  If it is nothing...then:\n\nGo to a chiropractor and get adjusted.  Sometimes it is just that you are out of alignment.\n\nAlso, you may have built up one shoulder by using it more than the other.  Do light weights with the other arm to equal them out if they are different in size.

It could be that your bicep is very tired from whatever you or doing. Also there could be some slight nerve damage. As far as stopping the spasms, just try not to use that whole arm area a lot.

No it isn't strictly normal but equally is something that does occaionally occur.  You should go back and consult your doctor and ask for their advise as to the best route forwards.  Possible repeat xrays or more physio or even acupuncture.  Whatever you decide make sure you don't just sit it out, if I had done that i would have lost the use of my left arm!!!

If you have hit it, then you may have rupptured the fregments in your arms (meaning: the muscle, causing it to bloat/swell) making it look like what you said "a second elbow" this is a common injury!\n\nif your arm is like this normally and always has been then you may be double jointed...but the double jointed that you cant twist around all freakishly lol! \n\nyou may want to go get it ex-rayed from your local docter/hospital/walk-in-clinic!  good luck!\n\np.s if your arm hurts then you should deffinitly go get it checked out! the doctors is a hassel but in the end we all know its worth it...better safe then sorry!

potential fracture.. might be so minor. its what they call a bruised bone. i had a similar fall a few years ago but i fell on both hands. my  right wrist had the same problem you are describing. just apply ice and wait it out. my right forearm required a cast for 6 weeks. so go to a doctor and get xrays of your hands. they will let you know.

Sometimes this comes from having problems with topping the ball.  Your over powering with your right side.  When you do that you get those bone jarring divots.  You want equal power.  Swing once with just your left arm and than the right and you will see.  Make sure your elbow does not fly.  Pretend like you have a towel or something under your right side arm pit.  You don't want to let if fall out so you have to keep the arm close to your body.  I have a lot of great links to tips to help out on my blog roll.  Good Luck .

I broke my arm when I was 12.  It doesn't bother me now.  However...I had surgery on my left knee when I was in my early 20s and now I have my very own built-in barometer.  I know way before the weatherman when precipitation is on the way and I know when his 3-day forecast is wrong.

A truly torn rotator cuff wouldn't allow you to pick your arm up over you head.  Alternately, if someone put your arm up at shoulder height, you wouldn't be able to hold it their yourself.  At the time of injury you would have felt intense pain, had moderate swelling in your shoulder, and may have had numbness or tingling down your arm to your fingers.  If you suspect that you have torn your rotator cuff, you need to get to your doctor and have it checked out.  Here is some information for you to read.

i ruptured a tendon by repeatedly hitting my wrist on a stapler- i also injured myself playing volleyball hitting a ball with the inside of my arm- my doctor told me that the nerves are really close to the bones in your arm- doctors- a good source of medical information!

I'm no doctor but, you need to see a professional about this . My son was a three time state weight lifting champion in three separate weight classes during his high school years . Needless to say I have seen a lot of weight lifting injuries . He once had a "strange pain " in his lower arm , and one day while working out ,his fore arm mussels contracted so tightly they forced all of they body fluid from the mussel ,forming a huge bag of liquid under his forearm . The local doctor started to lance it to relieve the pain but , luckily he contacted a sports medicine doctor who stopped him from making a big mistake . After some intense physical therapy and meds the arm reabsorbed the liquid and he was back to normal . No pain however slight should be ignored . It's your body telling you something is wrong . I ignored a pain in my lower leg for over a year thinking it was just mussel strain or shin splints . It turned out to be a low grade slow growing bone cancer . So don't blow it off . GET IT CHECKED BY A PROFESSIONAL.

You may have slightly torn a forearm muscle.\n\nRemember for 24 hours, R.I.C.E\nRest, Compression, Ice and Elevation\n\nHeat after that and anti-inflams.\nGood Luck

I suspect it's something simple.  I think because of the way your arm joints work, when you release the board with your right hand, for example, the board will have a very slight horizontal inclination to the left, which will eventually cause it to turn in the air and veer to the left.\n\nIt will be interesting to hear what someone with a knowledge of biology or physics will say though.  :)
