Hi im training for a boxing fight on the 29th. A couple of weeks ago I was punching a bag and felt a deep pain in my right upper arm. The next day I was fighting in the ring (just body shots) which consisted mainly of hooks. After this session I had a deep stabbing pain in my right upper arm. It hurt to lift my arm up and my fingers were twitching. I took 10 days off and went back today and again did around 15 rounds in the ring (just body shots) and I have the same feeling. What do you think I have done? Will I have any permanent damage if i continue to punch with it? Should i go to the hospital (if so i need to beat the friday night rush!). Btw it helps with the pain if I tie a band around my bicep to restrict the blood flow.
Also in the ring today my guard was poor (because of the arm) and I walked right into a hook! It got me right in the middle of my ribcage and its hurting a bit to breathe in. I get this all the time around my ribs without bruising but never here. Is this anything to worry about?
Thanks in advance!
