I have barely any strength in my left arm with all exercises except curls. no pain at all while doing the movements. some discomfort in my neck/ shoulder region throughout the day. due to coronavirus i can not see a doctor right now. i’m 18 and have been lifting for a year. can somebody please help me. it’s been going on for a week and a half

See a doctor remotely via telemedicine. You'll need to be prepared to provide more detail than what you list here. In the meantime, you may want to stop exercising, including curls and other movements that don't bother you.

You posted the same thing yesterday, and got told the same advice. It could be a pinched nerve or shoulder impingement, or it could be a ministroke. regardless, it isnt going to get diagnosed and treated here.

Lifting weights should not be a big priority for you right now. Getting over the virus is. So quit lifting (putting stress on your body) for awhile until you get over it. Your body doesn't need to spend its energy making muscle right now. It needs to get rid of the virus.

U have a case of vaginitis. Apply copious amounts of vagisil.


In all seriousness bro focus on dynamic stretching and just general movement. Then start doing push-ups girl style on your knees and build up your strength. Your prolly fine.

Anyone giving you advise here would be just speculating on your issue.
Sure you could try what someone might recommend but it could make your issue worse,it might help who knows.
Are you willing to take that chance?
Right now do what you can and maybe consider one arm work for now until you can get to a doctor or chiropractor.
My speculation is like the one above that you have a nerve pinched off or something similar.
Laying off of using it for awhile in many cases helps the injury heal or dissipate but you must be patient.
Maybe a month or so but I'm no doctor.
I would see a chiropractor when they get back going again.
Good luck.
