Right arm swelling after workout

I have recently began a new workout regiment.
I worked my arms on a Wed. After the workout I could not make my right arm straight. On Sunday I began to see that my arm was beginning to swell. One Tuesday my forearm was 3cm larger then my left.
What is that from?
I had it looked at by an emergency room doctor and they prescribed Naproxen, will this help.
What could it be from? Thanks,JM

    : Thanks,: JMYour swelling can be caused by a number of thingsWere you using free weights or Nautilus or a combination. The swelling is usually fluid pushed into an area of a strained muscle and Naproxen is an anti inflamitory. It will help. I would reduce the weight your using in your workout and increase the number of reps. If it continues have this checked out by a specialist. hope this helps
