Sounds like you have injured your rotator cuff.  Go to a doctor, get some x-rays, lay off using the shoulder for lifting weights.  Put ice on the shoulder to reduce swelling, and then heat to make the muscles relax.  Get a massage.  \n\nThe best you can do is to go to your doctor and get a professional opinion.  \n\nCheers, K

My feet are getting heavy, and I've lost feeling in my toes. What is that odd sensation in my stomach - like rocks weighing heavily?? My back is stiff, so I try to move. Man, my feet are heavy. I move my legs and it's as if someone  tied cement blocks to them. A creeping sensation moves up my legs, and I stop trying to move them. \nMy eyes hurt. My head feels stiff, as if my skin is crunchy. I try to call out, but my mouth doesn;t want to move - like I am wearing a clay mask and it has dried. What is happenieng to me? My fingers are stiffening, and I am now numb to the waist. I can't move my legs!!  I try to scream, but my vocal cords are too frozen. My nose is numb.  My breasts are starting to feel heavy as lead, and I can hardly hold up my head. The numbness creeps downward, and my fingers are like bananas as I try to type. IO amn makl[oing so manny typpos .. I cannnottr type wellllll,... I cannnt breeeaathe .. sdhfgsdajklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

when i used to work out at the gym using weights i started getting a similar sort of pain and went to see my doctor as i thought it was my heart, he told me i had torn a muscle in my left armpit and gave me tablets to fix it, but i seriously used to think i was having a heart attack as the pain also shot down my left arm. It could also be severe wind  i know it sounds stupid but wind can travel anywhere in the body. But i would get him to your doctors to be safe. good luck.

It depends on the pain, upper or lower back?  It could be because your work entails physical labor and you are lifting things all day, or it could be something as simple as needing to stretch daily to ease the tension.

It may be muscular or it could be a kidney. If the pains are severe see a Doctor.

My daughter & I both get a sharp shooting pain through our right shoulder. It feels like your being electricuted. I asked the doctor about it & she said it's mild nerve damage that should correct itself with exercise.

Hi it sounds like you have a solid cardiovascular program going. Have you looked into purchasing a heart rate monitor?  \nWhen starting out lifting I always tell my clients lift moderately. Lift what you feel gives you a solid feeling. If you feel like your wimping out you probably are. If you feel like your arms going to fall off on the first day I'm betting your lifting to heavy. The goal is to build a varying routine that your body has trouble adapting to. While not killing yourself so you'll come back tomorrow. This type of lifting  will burn more calories, as well as help you gain strength and power faster. Id suggest you look at the book  The New Rules of Lifting. The have detailed workouts for any level of lifter, even the most novice. It has picture diagrams of all of its exercises and most importantly its workouts vary so your not just doing chest press and arm curls all the time. I hope this helps. Good luck!

I've had shoulder trouble since I was a pitcher in high school. I've stopped throwing and have taken up weight training. The pain has literally disappeared. My suggestion. Stop all high impact activity on your knee. Do low weight bearing exercise. Focus on strengthening the muscles around the knee with weight training. Also do a lot of stretching and perhaps yoga if you are ambitious. I heard of a supplement that is supposed to be helpful for joint issues. Hyaluronic Acid. Best of Luck

It seems as though you have strained your neck muscles as well as subluxating your cervical vertebrae. This will take soe time to heal as s muscle strain involves the tendons. The tendons are avascular meaning without blood vessels.  As such there is no exchange of nutrients and wastes making it take longer to heal. As time passes it should get better and the pain and nausea will pass altogether. I have had this happen to me and my clients before in almost the same way.  Were you undergoing some serious stress during that time that you slept incorrectly?  I ask as it would seem to be the common denominator.  Good luck and don't do anything strenuous that would involve your neck or it will exacerbate the original injury.  Oh, btw, when the swelling completely subsides, may I suggest a series of massages to prevent any future spasms or flare ups?  It helps!

1. Go to www.thecountrydoctor.com and read the message about "A Pain in the Neck" 2. Get the weight of the world off of your shoulders 3. Get moving! If you are still for long periods of time, it will make your muscles stiff. 4. If this is strictly tension, do neck exercises to stretch your muscles; 30 times, 4 times per day. Go to the article mentioned to get more information on exercises and causes.

I did repetitive lifting at work.  My elbows hurt so bad by the end of my shift I couldn't lift anything, I would drop it.  First had cortisone shot, therapy eventually surgery to repair the tendons.  Get checked out.  I was told that I will have permanent damage.  Surgery is the last resort, try other options, stop lifitng as much as you can.

it could be muscle soreness, but this usualy occurs the following day.\n\nthe most likely factor is that you are not following proper form doing your exercises. this is generally 90% of the problem especialy if your back and neck is involved.\n\nif you go to a gym where there are trainers, i would suggest you take a quick course on proper exercise form, it will save you a lot of pain and will help you build muscle faster. dont feel bad, all newcomers at this make the same mistakes.\n\nto help in your problem, you can also apply ice for no more than 30 min to the area that hurts, it will help stop the swelling. after that apply something hot for another 30 min, this will cause increased bloodflow and will help repair the muscles that are in pain.\n\ngood luck!

I have tingling in my hands and arms and sometimes it hurts really bad, been doing it for several months. I went to the doctor and he took x-rays. It is a problem with my neck. Have they taken any x-rays? Maybe the next step would be to have some or maybe go see a chiropractor, they are miracle workers if you get a good one.

Back part of your neck?\n\nIt can probably be tension headache because the tension you are making on your neck muscles.\nIt seems to me you are not doing wight lifting very good. It is kinda hard for me to explain, but you have to focus your energy homogeneously with your neck, arms, abdomen, chest muscles, and not only with your neck muscles.\nTake care of yourself. Good luck

stretch before and after, this will prevent the damage..\n\nas for repair drink lots of water and take it easy. take some motrin or advil if the pain is really bugging you.\n\nyou shouldn't be hurting yourself when lifting weights. this isn't a good habit to get into because it will just lead to problems..

For the lower muscular pain, try laying back on a volleyball or soccer ball. With your pelvis off the ground, balance yourself with your feet flat on the floor, and shoulders/arms. Roll yourself around on the ball. When you find a particularly "ouchy" spot kind of hover over that area. It is surprisingly effective in ironing out sore back muscles.\n\nFor the neck, this trick is better done by a friend, but you can do it yourself if you have to: Pinch the meaty part of the neck firmly between your fingers and the palm of your hand (try not to use the tips of your fingers, but instead use the "palms" of your fingers). Hold this for about a minute. Then do the same thing to both muscles on each side of the neck called the trapezius muscles. This is an acupressure technique that is very effective.
