10 Causes of Arm Pain
Cause #2: Sprain
Holding together our bones and other body parts are ligaments. These are tough, sinewy strands that connect our bones together. While they can endure quite a lot of force, they are not indestructible, and they can become stretched or torn. This stretching or tearing is what we know as a sprain.
Sprains are quite common and can be very painful. Although painful, they don’t usually present a real threat to your health except for in very serious cases. Treatment will often include painkillers and anti-inflammatory treatments to help relieve pain. It may be necessary to provide strapping to give protection and support while the sprain heals.
