Our user asked: "Hello, I am a bowler and have recently been concerned with some pain in my upper forearm, elbow area. I have done more lifting weights than before. Sometimes for some reason, I have pain throughout my bicep and tricep area as well as my shoulder, should I quit bowling? Or just make sure ice it"? Thanks"
 
Ask a PT Response: "For all my patients who experience an increase in pain with an activity in which they are performing, I usually tell them to back off from that activity to allow for the injured area to heal. In your case it may be a good idea to back off from not only the bowling but lifting of weights as well. Icing and stretching the affected area is also recommended to my patients. After a period of rest, return to the activity which was resulting in pain would usually be gradual. Good luck to you."
