cant really put a finger on what i specifically did, but woke up about 3 weeks ago and had terrible shooting pain down my left arm, (back of the tricep and down into my forearm0 the pain has started to subside, but my strength is probably about 50% of my right. i have been trying to work thru it using the hammer strenght machines. anyone have this happen , or have any ideas?
 
most likely some sort of tendon problem.

but could be a mild form of arthritis.

I'M NOT A DOCTOR THOUGH!
 
That sounds more like a pinched nerve that a tendon problem...
I get lots of them.. they are fuckin gay... yesterday when I was doing reverse flys... i pinched something for a second and i went blind for the rep... lol... that was FUCKED up...

Go see a chiropractor for a couple of sessions... one your vertabre is probably out... like c2,c3, or t2,t3.... There are nerves in those vertabrae i believe that run through your shoulders and down your arms... go get checked out!
 
Delt injury.

Your triceps feels like crap... and when you go to do pullups you are going to be in agony... and pulling yourself up sideways.

Try it and confirm or rule out my theory. If it is correct PM me and I'll tell you how to deal with it.

Yes, I frequently pinch a nerve doing skull crushers to close to my face and it fucking sucks. It really hampers the rest of my workout. Going back to my forehead or back of my head has really helped though. I also agree that a chiropractor would be a good idea. I think in many respects they are quack doctors, but they are great for a readjustment.

I'm going to guess it is the top of your forearm that you feel the pain in. The reason I say this because the Radial nerve is what innervates your triceps brachii and extensor muscles of the forearm and hand. The nerve roots are C5, C6, C7, and C8. Do you play any contact sports or where you hit in the head the day before you felt this? Does your neck hurt at all? Did you sleep with an increase in the angle from your neck to your shoulder? Are your neck muscles sore at all?
 
I had pain shooting down my right arm and leg... my fingers would twitch on my hand... and sometimes, my arm would go numb... it was back when I was wrestling and my back was taking a beating... once I stopped... it went away... 2 compressed disks...
