Forearm Pain

Hi guys,

At the start of this week I have been experiencing on and off pain in my right forearm. The pain shifts from the dorsal side of my wrist to the ventral side and on a pain scale I would say it is around a 5. My forearm feels heavier than my left forearm.

At the moment, I am trying to reduce my time using the computer at a desk and am wearing a wrist brace at night.

Background Info

I tend to sit at a computer for roughly 7 hours a day. I have started to do weight lifting and was wondering if this is causing this pain alongside the computer usage? My posture at the desk is good also. In the past, I have fractured my wrist twice.

I also have trigger finger in my pinky on the same side as the forearm pain.

I would go to visit a doctor, but due to COVID-19 my doctors aren't seeing patients and I am scared this pain could lead to long term issues.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

    I discovered that methotrexate causes my right arm "pain." Then Gabapentin fixes my arm, ruins

    my memory, makes me clumsy and act drunk. What are ya gonna do?

    Does Anybody Out there wonder if we're all just self-absorbed, gloomy body-illnesses obsessed people?

      I recently went to visit my GP and she said the problems were a result of a trapped nerve in my elbow. I have been instructed to try and keep my arm straight whenever I can to try and heal the nerve.
