Muscle Twitching/locking Arm- Boxing

[grizzly978]

Looking for opinions on this.
I started retraining boxing this week, no pain and going light etc.
After the first day, my right tricep would on and off twitch, not spasm but just twitch, no real pain.
After my second day, the same but I lifting after and during a set of rows, my same arm completely locked.

I have no bruising , no pain, and I went to the Doctor, she thinks it is a strain but is not sure because there is no pain or bruising anywhere so that was her diagnosis even though I have no loss of strength or movement . She did not want to MRI and said take a week off or until the pain goes away , but I have no pain……

I’m no doctor but was thinking possible nerve injury or overuse?

Has anyone experienced this before?
I am not dehydrated and take taurine daily along with magnesium.

How do you differentiate a twitch/spasm? A spasm can manifest in different ways. When you say the arm locked up, do you mean in a straight position? How is your sodium level? Sounds like it was a minor spasm which evolved into a large spasm. You could try an ice bath for the arm to reduce any inflammation.

It would not move when I went to grab the cable row and locked out, I stopped immediately.
You are right, it could be minor spasms because it still does it here and there so I’m taking a week off of training.

My sodium honestly is likely low because I drink water only and don’t add salt to anything.

I’m still having some minor pain on the elbow so a week off should do it and ice etc, massage gun.
