Picked up 35 lb son 2 weeks. Felt immediate 'strain' in belly of biceps. Iced for first 3-4 days, then have been doing heat at night and taking anti-inflammatory. Pain is sporadic and increases with increased load I put on the biceps/forearm. Depending on the day/time of day/what I'm doing the pain is in the belly of biceps, lower shoulder, elbow area, forearm....
Don't think it's distal biceps tendon. I don't have any issues supinating with weight on it. Not sure what it is, but doesn't seem to be healing.
Can't shut arm down, b/c...well, I'm in a brace on my other arm b/c have partial distal biceps tendon tear.
Clearly, I've over-used/over-compensated with my 'good arm.' Lucky me.
Anyway suggestions of how to pinpoint problem and resolve? Again, I neeed at least one arm to use for everyday life while my distal issues heals.
Thanks.
