Common Injuries

[EMTWillow11]

I'm a new EMT and recently hurt my R forearm/wrist moving a pt. And because I started to favor that arm, now my L arm is starting to hurt, in the same places and the same type of pain. Is this a common injury? And if so, how do I fix it, or deal better with it? I have been icing/heating and stabilizing when I can, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better

Any suggestions, ideas, comments?

Try wrapping it when you go to bed

Go to the doc. It is against the rules to ask for medical advice here.
