Title: Painful arms
Post by: Trixiebell on April 20, 2024, 07:38:33 PM

Hi , about one month ago I suddenly started experiencing pain in both my elbows down to my wrists
The pain feels like pulled muscles , I initially thought it was from pulling my trainers on . It seems as though when we get older one incorrect movement causes injury 🙈
I have started to use a shoe horn it sounds nuts but the pain has eased .
However I’ve still got painful twinges in my right elbow .
Has anyone else experienced this ?

YES!!!  I had a painful elbow and the inner side of my forearm to my wrist (also had shoulder, foot and hip pain).  This went away completely when I started Testosterone.  For me it was definitely hormonal.

Thankyou for your reply , the pains came on suddenly, when it started it was so painful just to bend elbows
