My arms hurt so much after a workout I can't lift them. Is that normal?
It's common to experience muscle soreness after a workout, especially if you've pushed yourself hard or tried a new exercise. The pain is caused by microscopic tears in the muscle fibers, which the body repairs and rebuilds stronger.
The severity of the soreness can vary depending on your fitness level, the intensity of your workout, and your age. It's usually most noticeable the day or two after your workout.
If your arms are so sore that you can't lift them, it's important to rest and give them time to recover. You can also try icing your arms to reduce inflammation and applying heat to relax the muscles.
If the soreness persists for more than a week, or if it's accompanied by other symptoms such as swelling, redness, or fever, you should see a doctor.
