Well, the week before my Whitney hike this past week my left arm started to hurt. I think it was left over stress from my last Yosmeite trip.
Heck of a time to start to get pains before a huge hike up Whitney. Got some prescription ibuprofen from my doctor to control it and only had to take one pill on the morning of the first day of my 3 day hike. Ironically, no soreness in the arm during the rest of the hike. Other body parts... all new soreness.
That said, I was debating what I would do if the pain was worse before my hike started. Only need one arm for my hiking stick...
