Severe Pain in the Right Biceps - Devaluation Conflict

 written in February 2017:

Symptoms - quite unpleasant pain in the right hand, up in the biceps muscle area - only in certain positions. Duration - about 3 days.

Conflict - devaluation conflict related to the mobility of the striated muscle in the healing phase. The muscle is recovering and the pain appears from the nerve impulses through which the body tests that the area is functional. Devaluation conflict = I don't think I can perform a certain physical task with that part of the body. If you succeed, pain (muscle fever) appears because the body replaces certain cells in the area with stronger ones and restores the nerve endings so that next time you can without a doubt.

Explanations in my case - two possible:

1. The night before yesterday it snowed about 30cm and yesterday I shoveled snow for about half a day, my husband being away from home for 4 days; I had to take care of it because the -20 degrees frost was coming, the snow was getting harder and it was harder to move after that; plus my husband was coming home in the dark from afar and needed a place to park the car; it seemed to me that I couldn't finish it, that I was tired and that the task was beyond my strength; I finished, everything was ok;

2. the most plausible for me - my husband was away from home for 4 days; me with the whole household on my head, plus the worry of making a fire 2-3 times a night, carrying wood, I had the impression that I was being overwhelmed by worries and that I couldn't cope with everything both physically and mentally. Why do I say it's the most plausible? Because the pains appeared about an hour after he returned home.

Another useful detail - when such pain occurs, we may experience an additional conflict of devaluation in the same area, because it bothers us and we are dissatisfied that it does not help us and we cannot use it, so we have a bad opinion of our abilities in that area. These additional conflicts can prolong the pain.

Health!
