• I have arm pain after exercising?

After working out two days ago, my left arm started hurting when I move it, especially in my upper arm when I touch it. There is some tingling. Yesterday, it hurts more. My palm and fingers are starting to swell a little. The pain extends from my shoulder to my hand. Last night, I couldn't sleep because it hurt even more. I tried to apply ice to help. What problem do I have and what do I need to do?

You need to see your PCP. It needs to be examined properly including nerves and blood vessels.

Too many possibilities. Need Ortho evaluation

Probably a shoulder rotator cuff injury and an associated nerve pinch(possibly at the neck or elbow).Find a good orthopedic surgeon.Short term heat,massage,gentle motion exercise,and nsaid medication such as ibuprofen may help with pain control.
