Yesterday I decided to do some push-ups, first set 20x,second set 12x, third set 5x, and fourth 10x. All of them add up to 47x. However it not much, but I haven't done push-ups in years, but I do work out like once a week or month.
Anyways, I woke up with a very painful right arm, but my left are isn't that painful at all. I have to use mouse and type with only my left hand...anf help? please...tyvm.

good for you! however, you probably should have started with less pushups and gone for quality not quantity.
pop some advil and ice your arm. massage it.
good luck.

Some ibuprofen will help if taken on a regular basis. You have pushed your muscles beyond their capacity and now they are complaining. Soaking in a hot bathtub will also loosen up the tight muscles. Let them heal before going overboard again on the exercises.

I would think that your muscle has been pulled or torn...resulting in a terrible pain. I would soak the arm in warm water and dont use it as much until the pain goes away. also put an ice pack on it if it begins to hurt and if it doesnt go away go to the Doctors.

Use icy hot or tiger balm or any muscle heating creme. Use a small amount and massage it gently into the muscle. It will burn a little on the surface but it will end up feeling a lot better on the inside.

Try an OTC anti inflammatory like Advil (ibuprofen) - Tylenol does not have anti inflammatory properties - and apply heat.

Maybe you pulled a muscle while doing the push-ups, just let the muscle rest a while.

you over did it--it probably felt fine doing so but as usual if you are just starting again you have to go slow and work up ..try to rest it and use a heating pad--tylenol--wait a couple of days it will wear off..feel better..

Take some Tylenol and a hot bath. You'll have to be patient and give your body time to heal.

its most likely because your right arm works harder
you are probably a righty
i think it would be a great idea to look for a massage therapist in the area

Try some bio freeze to help out. Just don't quit using it and let it stiff.
