Ya, im a college kid. My job doesnt offer health insurance. And my school said since im not enrolled in the current term that i would have to wait until Fall semester or pay them.
Idk what my parents have as far as coverage.
Thanks raj. I understand what you mean in this day and age, and its a shame it has come down to that.
Ill look into the medial cutaneous nerve.
Thanks guys.

And that wasn't any sort of answer to his question.

I can't wait to pay for your medical bills so you can spend your money on more materialistic things.

I dont have health insurance, and i thought this would go away after a week, but it hasnt yet. Basically i started walking/running/jogging from my apartment to my colleges fitness center, working out for about 45 minutes(lifting weights), and then running back. About 10 miles round trip. After a week, my left arm started to hurt. Anytime i lift anything that weighs more than a pound or two i get a pain in my arm. The pain is on the side if that makes sense. If the palm of my hand is facing down on my left arm, and i go from my pinky down towards my elbow and stop in the middle (inbetween my pinky and elbow), thats where the pain is. If i put pressure on that arm it doesnt hurt...its only when i lift anything. I didnt know if anyone might know why that is and if i should pay to see a doctor, or maybe it will just go away.
Thanks in advance

Hey this is your reality guardian checking in,You know, having those turbos are nice n all and i'm pretty sure you paid a good premium to have it on.
Well its that time in your life and you're not invincible anymore.
How about making a sacrifice on materialistic spending for some insurance please?

A lot of people don't have health insurance. If your company doesn't offer it, it is danged expensive.

(I'm not a Dr.)
and.. not going to preach health ins., that's been done.
as someone said, you probably have started too aggressive on the weights..
I've had a similar experience.. had an MRI done (expensive stuff, I was covered).. strained tendon... I was prescribed naproxin (motrin) for inflamation, it works for the pain part and reduces the inflamation.. but.. it takes time for tendons to get over it, I'm way older then you, I'm sure.... I did mine just a year ago or so, and I'm over it now, back to new.. it took the better part of a year for me, and it was catagorized as a mild strain..
your issue may be entirely something else, but.. as you described it, it seemed to be very similar to what I went thru..
good luck
