Lately, last 6 months, I have been experiencing what I would call a burning sensation in the upper right arm (aprox 4 fingers width from the top), when I am golfing or practicing. It comes and go and the intensity is mild to strong. It is to the point I can usually feel it within 6 swings.
Now, I have been to the doctors, four and counting. They can find nothing so far, but I am assured more tests are to follow.
So far no muscle or bone damage according to the doctors but they want to do more testing.
Was wondering if anyone has experienced this. Just kind of trying to get an idea of what this might be or what to expect.
Hi Martee,
Does the area on your right upper arm hurt to touch? Do you have the pain with any other activities?? Do you have any neck pain associated with this?? Dr Dave

Not really when you touch it, it might intensify a bit more, but not much.
At first no, lately just swinging the right arm can sometimes set it off.
If the right arm is parallel to the ground, can your raise your arm so that it is vertical to the ground?
Okay is this your way to get me to exercise? I had to get up and see and both arms seem to have the same range of motion when looking into a mirror. Wasn't sure if you meant to have the arm extended in front or to the sides, so I did it both ways. Reached Vertical each time, individually and together.
During what part of the swing does it bother you the most? Takeaway,downswing, follow thru.. ?
Once I get the burning sensation, it doesn't matter during what part, in fact just hanging to the side it still feels as if something hot was push there but on the inside not the outside.
And I can't recall that it starts at any particular part of the golf stroke.
You will be amazed what exercise will do to regain some youth in your body and game. Never too old to start.
Let me put it another way...it's an imperative.

I agree that you are never too old to start. But getting the motivation to do it routinely is another thing, at least for me. I lack discipline in this area. But I keep starting back into a routine.
