Soreness in the arm after carrying heavy objects is caused by epicondylitis of the humerus, also called tennis elbow, a disease that commonly occurs when playing tennis and badminton, as well as when carrying heavy objects. The pain relief methods include the following: First, you can take oral pain medications, such as celecoxib, loxoprofen sodium tablets, meloxicam and other anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs. Secondly, local massage can also be carried out. There is an acupoint near the external epicondyle of the humerus, and long-term massage of this acupoint can play a role in relieving pain. Third, physical therapy, local microwave physiotherapy, or far-infrared physiotherapy can relieve pain, and can also be used topical creams, such as Changchun red medicine paste, Shenyang red medicine paste, Tongluo pain relief cream to relieve local pain. If these methods are not effective, you can also carry out local closure treatment, you can use lidocaine plus prednisolone acetate plus vitamin B12 for local pain closure, which can play a very good role. If these methods are not effective, arthroscopic release of the tendon stop or incisional release can also be effective.
