Suggest Remedy For Dull Ache In The Left Biceps
Hello. I m 41, and two years ago while doing pullups, I felt something give in my left biceps. As a former athlete I am familiar with broken bones, sprains, tendonitits, et cetera, but have been surprised that my biceps has ached off an on for two years. There is no bulge indicating a torn tendon, and really there has been no loss of strength either. Like I said, I m surprised the dull ache has continued and am asking for a course of action. Thanks.

Hi,
According to me There may be biceps Strain or partial tear of fibers in both above condition you cannot see pop up of belly. I think you can avoid 4 week biceps exercise and allow those muscle fiber to heal and keep your arm in sling and then after 4 to 6 weeks, gradually start exercise if then also pain persists, get an MRI done.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
