I have severe pain in my bicep muscle on my right side. It looks a little larger than the left but there is no bruising. It hurts to move my arm up or down. I did take a hit to the bicep which seemed to have pulled my arm back. I thought I may have bruised the muscle but there is no bruising around the arm a day after. The muscle hurts to touch on or around the muscle. Could I have torn the muscle?
Chosen Answer:
Did you hear or feel a “pop?
I’m a licensed P.T. …. From what you have described, it _sounds_ like you may have ruptured your biceps tendon. This is something that might likely require surgery to reattach (depending on age and if it is fully ruptured vs a bad strain). Either way, I agree the others, you need to consult your family physician, and then, if necessary, will get a referral to an orthopedic specialist.

Yeah. go to the doctor, I did the same thing. They will help you out. Don’t wait, it can become severe.
Sounds like a torn biceps tendon. If the lump moves when you bend your elbow that could be it. You’ll need an MRI of your biceps and if its big you might need surgery.
The most important functions of bicep are to supinate the forearm and flex the elbow.
May be there a chance you have sprained it. Better consult a doctor for an immediate remedy. Don’t delay by asking the community for suggestions.
