question: My husband woke up Saturday morning with his left hand swollen and painful but by evening the swelling and pain was gone but now he has severe weakness in his same arm. He usually does 75 push ups every morning for years and lifts 20 lb weights before starting his day. Now he has tried every morning an he can t even do 4 push ups and cannot lift more than 5 lbs. He has no pain in his arm just muscle weakness. He is 65 yrs old. He is not concerned like I am.
