Unreal (dumb bicep)

[troybrown]

So i have been dealing with bicep pain for a couple months now, i originally hurt it a while back when i went to the gym all pissed off..(at the time it seemed like a great healthy way to get rid of some anger..nope) lost control of my form and bam..horrible pain around my bicep 3 or 4 inches from the inside of my elbow.

I been trying my best not to use it, but the thing that is really killing me is that Im a furniture delivery guy.I lift heavy **** in awkward positions all day long.

any suggestions that may help?

ive been heating and icing it every chance i get ...

i really need a good week off work..but bills have to be paid...

just ranting.

If you take your opposite hand and rub your fingers over the inside of the injured bicep do you feel a thick cord moving around that is painful?

I can do that without any pain,mainly the pain comes when im flexing or gripping something with the tip of my fingers..

i know man im the king of procrastination, sadly i have no insurance but you are right. think its time i pull the trigger on a doc appointment

Epsom salt baths help too they might even suggest compression

Well I can tell you that they are likely just going to say rest and nsaids as needed for the pain. Really time is the only thing that will resolve this, as you already know. A muscle relaxer like someone mentioned could help but deff not when you are still working and doing physical stuff...Don’t want to cause a loss of coordination or a fall.

Dont do anything that bothers it. Thats the only way to get it better

You can do physical therapy on it, light movements to get blood flow in there to help it heal.

This could be so many things with so many remedies. What were you doing when you injured it?

If I were you I would go find a chiro or physical therapist who does ART/Graston. Sounds like you have a bad muscle strain or tendinitis. Also I would go to a doctor (not an MD as all you will get r nsaids as told to rest) but I would go to a doctor because you need to make sure there isn’t a tear in the muscle or tendon
