bicept bruse and pain

Well ... I was setting up mats at my sons match today and felt some pain in my left bicep. I stopped doing the work because we were all set up. I felt my arm and it did not feel like it tore loose and went into a ball like my friends did when he tore his bicept. I iced it and took some motrin. It looks like there is some bruising.wtf! I just wanted some idea if it could just be a spain. I work at a hospital were I know all the PT people pretty well. They always say a tell tail sign of gear use is bicept injuries. I dont want this label at work. Any input will be apritiated.

I partial tear may not roll up into a ball. If the tendon ruptures it will roll up (if it is a complete tear from the bone). You may have torn some muscle fibers which will account for the bruising appearance.
Get it checked out by your PT friends. As for their theory about bicep injuries being a tell tale sign of gear use, well that made me laugh. Goes right along with the small dick thing.
My best friend years ago tore his bicep very much like you describe...and he had not used anything at all.

yes sounds like either bursted blood vessel or possible tear.

. As for their theory about bicep injuries being a tell tale sign of gear use, well that made me laugh. Goes right along with the small dick thing.


Well I hope it isnt but they always say that shit. I am glag it isnt a total blow out. That happened to my shoulder 2 years ago. It does look bruised. I will make a apointment with the doc monday. wish me luck. Thanks for the mind calming responses. I needed them.

Good luck - keep us posted on your progress.

Yeah, that sucks bro.
