Hiya,
Im just back from a week camping in Ireland and while i was there i experienced a strange feeling.
For the last few days there I was feeling the achy joint pain in my left (non bpi) arm as i do normally feel in my right (bpi) arm. Iv never felt this before anywhere other than my bpi arm.
Has anyone every experienced this?
Michelle,

I get that all the time and it started in my 20's. I did not realize that I was overusing my arm and in fact sometimes abusing it because I wanted to do everything and it was very strong... Rest your arm up for a bit and see if it goes away...

ye iv been trying to rest it and il see how that goes.
When you say you were over using ur arm, do u mean your non bpi or bpi arm? and in what way were u overusing it? Can i get help to not overuse it? The doctors in my area are pretty rubbish at dealing with my arm so i tend to find out all the info i need and who i need to see about it and then i go in and ask for that directly. So would it be physio/ot I would ask to see? or is there things i can do myself to help?
