Triceps still hurting after 2 days

[JEDI]

2 days ago, i Tripped and Fell

i landed on palms of hands, forearms, elbows, and knees simultaneously. :Q
it didnt hurt as much as i thought it would.

that day i also shoveled some dirt for 15 min or so.

yesterday my triceps started hurting bad.
today it still hurts almost as bad.

no other part of my body hurts.

if it was from shoveling, why did it only affect my triceps?
If it was from the fall, again, how did it only affect my triceps?

Note:
I goto the gym 2-3x/week so i'm in semi-decent shape.

Triceps are the muscles that resisted when your hands hit, so they will hurt the most. Also, shoveling does work triceps a good amount depending on how you throw.

Its more of a "shock" to muscles.

I got into a car accident and my entire body was in that sort of pain which appeared a day or two after.

Try not to do heavy work with them for now. Your triceps stabalized your body during the fall and probably got inflammed from the shoveling. Take a week off, ice/ heat them and see how they feel. If they still bother you, go get an xray.
