I recently went rock climbing and blew out my forearms really quick. Faster than most people I would think. Sometimes I wonder about the pro hormones I use to take has messed me up bad, like weaker than I really am or something because I have been off them for over a year. I just feel really weak that is all but I am actually not though. I have had so any blood tests done and everything has come back perfect except for elevated IGA which my Doctor says is nothing.
Anyway. I worked out at the gym a few days after rock climbing and blew out my forearms again because I want to make them stronger. Then I took a few days off. One night about a week after rock climbing I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
I tried to lift up the toilet seat and it fell of my fingers of my left arm. I blew it off because I was tired and use my right arm. Then when I started to go back to bed it dawned on me that was weird about my left arm. I did not have any pins or needles sensation meaning it was asleep it was just blown. I could grip a little bit but could barely turn the water on to wash my hands.
In any case I went to a couch and lifted it up an inch with my right hand and it check out but when I did my left I couldn’t even grip it. I thought I was going to have a heart attack because my left arm was dead. So I went to the bathroom and got out my blood pressure machine and while I was getting it ready my heart started to pound like it was coming out of my chest. All I know was that I thought for a second that was it and I was going to be found their lying on the bathroom floor.
My fight or flight must have taken over because I began to take huge deep breaths and began to calm down after about 10 to 15 seconds. My blood pressure and pulse was off the chain for a few minutes but then finally went back to normal.
I tried walking around and sitting on the couch for an hour but was still nervous. Tried lifting the couch with my left arm but it was gone. I finally went to bed again because I was so tried at that point. Woke up and could lift up the couth with my left arm. It hurt near the elbow area but I could do it. I ice it for a while and it felt much better and it is pretty much perfectly normal right now.
In any case I have told all this and all my ailments to all of my Doctors and they keep looking at me like I am an idiot. One Doctor finally prescribed me anti-depressant but I do not want to take it and become reliant on it.
I just don’t know what to do …
