Answer 1

Check with your doctor or a sports therapist.

Answer 2

do not waste your time in going to a doctor or seeking profesional help. this works great, and at first I was skeptical, but in the end it has helped me oliviate arm pump, now I can ride long motos, or if out riding with friends, a loooong time....

1. dont drink soda.

2. do weight training in arms such as curls.

3. work out you forearms by doing wrist curls.

4. invest in a jump rope. not only does this help in cardio, but it helps strengthen your fore arm muscles.

5. lots of riding.

6. try not to hold on as hard, dont squeeze the grip as hard.

7. hold the grip like a tennis raquet. it sounds weird, but it works, plus it helps you keep your elbows up...

8. try not to think about your arms when riding......

9. stretch out your arm 30 mins before you ride.

10 take some aspirine before you ride....

all this worked for me, but like everyone states, we are not all alike......

here is a link to a website about arm pump....
